First you need a Solder Sucker or an extra pair of hands. If you can melt and remove the solder from the eyelet you can then resolder the lead. An inexpensive Radio Shack or Weller Pencil iron with a narrow 'chisel'tip will do it. Wet the tip with solder and apply the tip so that it touches both the board hole (eyelet) and the resistor lead. Apply a bit of solder until you see it melt and bubble a bit in the hole.
W/O a Solder Sucker you need someone to grasp the lead with a needle nose pliers or tweezers to press the lead into the hole as you melt the solder already in it.
Sometimes the way the parts leads are bent want to make it pop back up when you remove the iron and before the solder cools so watch for it.
