Default ABS Light/Wires pulled.

I gotta problem i need help with!
So i was driving home from work last night and i was in the far left lane, the suv next to me ran over a tow hitch that was in the middle of the freeway and it kicked up and landed right in front of my front passenger side and i had no choice to run it over, it happened to land RIGHT there, lucky that i slammed the brakes to slow down cause if i didnt it probably would have hit my windshield and caused more damage, i immediately got to the right shoulder as i noticed the ABS and Tire pressure light blinking, called a tow truck to do his thing and it had to be towed home, but anyway it popped the tire(cut the sidewall) and bent/dinged the wheel, but it also pulled the ABS sensor wires out of the connector, i was wondering if i can just solder the wires back into the connector or do i need to replace it? i am not worried about the wheel at all since i have some rpf1's on the way. Any help is appreciated!
here are some pics of the damage and the car:

Got dragged onto the bed to lift the car up to put a jack stand under it, to put the spare on, the scissor jack that the car has didnt fit and the tow truck guy didnt have anything smaller than that...


you can see the wire that got pulled out, and the connector above, i'll get a better pic of this tomorrow.


here is the damage to the wheel/tire:


and a pic i took today:


excuse the iPhone pics!

yes into the connector, unclip it and pull out the rubber gromet thing where the wires went into with a little screw driver or needle nose pliers thus exposing the terminals, solder the wires back on and your good to go...
