I've done this myself with basic soldering iron, and cheap hot air station. It's possible, but harder. After that, I spent just over £1000 on better equipment
You ideally need: low melt solder to mix with anchor points, and rear pins.
Plenty of flux, and a hot air gun with a nozzle wide enough to cover the port, as you have another row of pins hidden, so do not force it. When solder liquifies, leave a bit longer, then gently remove.
Solder wick to remove all the excess solder.
Then use low melt to tin the pads.
And then hot air again to refit.
Also bear in mind, sometimes, when a port is bad, you might find the power management chip & charging chip goes faulty, so would need to test the caps around those for shorts, and replace if necessary.
About 50% of what I get in require these chips replaced, or another additional component.
