Try not to get them too hot - solder them quickly. Also be careful that you don't get a short between the body of the crystal and plated-through holes on the PCB. We always have very thin plastic washers between the crystal body and the PCB (I've seen people use bits of Sellotape!)

Nope - you can solder it either way 'round.
