Getting PWM output on CCP10 pin of PIC18F65K22?

[treez]

Hello,
We need a 25khz PWM signal from our PIC18F65K22 microcontroller, but by mistake, when laying out the PCB, I have connected the track to the CCP10 pin instead of the CCP8 pin. Page 245 of the micro’s datasheet says that the CCP module is disabled for the CCP10 pin in the PIC18F65K22 device.
The pin with CCP8 is non-connected on our PCB. Is there any way that we can internally connect the CCP8 pin to the CCP10 pin so that we get the PWM functionality on the CCP10 pin even though the CCP module is disabled for the CCP10 pin?

make RE2 an input and solder a wire between CCP10 and CCP8

an advantage of peripheral pin select, which is available on some of the Microchip PICs, is that you can change some pin functionality at run time

yes but PPS doesn't apply in this case?

yes, thats why you have to solder a wire between the pins

I mentioned PPS is an advantage when the PCB layout is wrong and you can often fix errors at runtime rather than hacking the PCB

The pins are 0.5mm pitch so even kynar wire is going to be challenging for shorting the pins

surface mount components can be very difficult to solder
a very fine soldering iron and magnifying glasses help
recently had some modems with the pads underneath - ended up destroying the PCBs trying to modify them!
