You can't get the pin out of the connector? If not you could solder in a new connector. I'm pretty sure they make them.

If it's clean and tight you probably can but to answer your "Flashing" question .. No ,,, because flashing was only done on the old generators , not on an alternator Geez ,, that question brought back memories
