I use a leaded/flux core solder. But I also use a liquid flux pen; more commonly available in a tub of paste. Flux assists in heat distribution and surface/contaminent cleaning. If the old existing solder or HASL/ENIG surface has oxidized, it will be very difficult for you to solder it. Flux makes this a billion times more easy to do.

While you're making some purchases, grab a spool of copper solder wick to help remove the old solder currently bonding the old jack to the mobo.

I have been looking for solder and trying to find a store I can pick it up from instead of ordering it online now will either of these work?
rosin core
acid core

Go ahead and buy the rosin core spool. Acid core is for piping and gutters.

seeing as I need to buy a new soldering iron since the 2 that were in the garage are broken I found this cheap little set on amazon that I think will work for the price
