I noted too it was a very large and secure solder bulb, likely why they made such a deep recess. This wire is subject to a lot of torque, albeit mild due to the coiling of the wire, but constant and repetitive back and forth as you steer the wheel most of the time while driving. Make sure you do the same installing the new one. A 'cold' solder joint will fail. You want to see good melt and flow so polish the brass to a clean glow before you solder.
