The wall jack's wires came undone?
It depends. It should be color coded on the unit itself.

RJ45 Pinout

Style 110 impact tool for mine (Leviton quickports) They give you a free plastic one in the package. All it does is jam the wire down between the two cutting edges, which then cut through the sheilding and make electrical contact. You could PROBABLY do it with manual brute force.
