macbook a1181 airport antenna cable socket repair

The two antenna cables in my Macbook A1181 have been ripped out of their sockets. Can these cables be recrimped or soldered into their respective sockets? Or do I need to replace both cables entirely?
Thanks for any input...

Are the female connectors (sockets) OK? In other words, have they been damaged in any way? If they're OK, I would go ahead and just replace the cables as the male connectors are very difficult to solder back on.

Take a look at the correct placement of the cables at iFixit: The free repair manual. Have your model number handy.

Thanks for your quick reply and I have looked at the diagrams on ifixit.com, but I am not fluent in the language here.
Please pardon my ignorance as I restate the problem so that we can be sure we're referring to the same things.
The two cables (black and grey - Santa Rosa/Penryn layout) were torn out of the gold brackets (female?). These gold brackets are attached on the actual AIrport card sprockets (male?). Neither the brackets nor the sockets were damaged - they still fit together no problem. It's just the cables that are detached, so my question is whether it's possible to reattach the cables to the gold brackets?
And if I still need to replace both cables, do you have a recommendation where to obtain them?
Thanks again.

I know with my eye site and big fingers Id opt to just replace them.

I suppose if you can see them enough to do it and can keep ahold of the little ends you could repair them .

Thanks for the link, Dawson1112. Rather than blindly trying to fix the connections, $4 for replacement cables is a cheap and easy solution.
