I recently broke my Female USB connectors on my case, (Rosswill Blackhawk.) I took it apart and have a small Circuit board with the USB ports attached, and my plan is to remove them, clean old solder and re-solder new ones on.
The USB ports are a special design, the are "Dual stacked" and are held onto the board by 2 Main Pins and 4 smaller pins. For reference I found them on Ebay,

I am wondering, is it possible for me to find that same USB connector in a USB car charger, remove it and use it in my computer system? If so, what are some things I need to play attention to? I have basic knowledge on soldering but tips are always appreciated.
The reason I am thinking of getting them out of an existing thing is I am in canada, and the shipping+Ship time is not going to work for this project.
Thanks
