I get this problem quite often. I have a SMD/soldering station, but you can use a hair drier.
You need:
1. hot air source
2. new charger port
3. tweezers
Use tweezers to hold old port while you heat the solder points. Gently lift the old port until it lifts off the PBC board. Discard old port and pick up the new one with the tweezers the whole time keeping the area hot with the air. Set the new port on the board where the old one, was keeping the hot air on it. When it's ready to turn soft and pliable, anchor the port in the space. This process is known as "reflowing". It takes a few times to get better.
note: always have hot air moving, never still.
