Need some help soldering Binding posts.


I need to replace my posts on my speakers.I've an excellent soldering station
and will be using cardas solder.
All binding posts have a hole what is its function?
When applying the solder I've noticed I must use more and apply over a greater area,Is this correct?
Is it ok to use flux on the post and cable then solder?
Any advice.

Solder should never be used to glue things together. The connection should be made physically sound first.
The rule in my day as a tech were to make the connection physically sound, and then solder. Do not use solder as a glue.
