Cutters clip the bottom out easily. Use any flux for leaded, 60/40 plain solder. Clean up by brushing residues with alcohol when done and absorb with paper tissue.

Does not matter if solder bridges short the pins. Briefly apply fine desoldering braid and they become neat instantly.

Practice finally makes it
