I'm building my K2, #4759, in page 53.

The fifth step in page is:

"Install the BFO crystals X3 and X4 (near J7). Important: trim X3's leads, and fold them down flat against their pads, before soldering. Then use a minimal amount of solder. This is necessary to avoid interference between X3 and L33 in a later step."

I am not 100% sure what should I do. I have to cut the leads before soldering. Is it right to leave about 1 mm length of both leads which then protrude on the bottom of the board. Then you should make a sharp 90 degree right angle to the leads. And then fill the hole with solder?
