Assuming you have basic soldering skills, you should be OK.

If you are concerned, you could use the 'heat shunt' trick which was
commonly used in the early days of transistors etc. (Early transistors
were more prone to damage while being soldered than modern ones.)


I still have an actual (normally closed jaws) heat shunt in my toolbox!
