Hi, i have a quite beefy condensator which need soldering up, are there any precautions i need to take in order to not fuck it up ? Edit : Thx for all the feedback. Went well, did no die :D

Did you pull this off something used?

Typically when sold new, they have much longer leads, which makes soldering easier, and then you trim off the extra lead length you don't need.

With the leads this short, it would be very challenging even for an expert to solder this without heat damaging the capacitor.
