z5 resonator leads

[jon howe-2]

Hi folks:
"The excitement is building."
K2 s/n 3460 and I have made it as far as page 46.
Who would have thought that an instruction manual would be such a page
turner?
During "Alignment and Test, Part 1" Info Code 080 pointed me to a
problem with the Z5 ceramic resonator: I forgot to put it in.
Three solder joints and one hard reset later, it's page 47 and beyond,
but I am reminded why I missed that step in the first place.
It's because I meant to ask you guys:
What do I do with the leads of Z5?  Do I clip them, or leave them alone?
For some reason I got it in my mind that they must not be disturbed.
BTW, thanks to all who replied, on and off list, to my r18/r19 query.
Indeed, the headers that came with KAF2 accept jumper leads, thus
sparing me four desoldering maneuvers.

The usual rule is if the component wire ends stick out chop 'em  off.
 
It can pay dividend in avoiding shorts sometimes and with Z5 there is  
nothing that would be adversely affected by doing this.

After you have you have soldered Z5 into the correct place on the PCB trim  
the free wire ends as normal as with most other components.
 
Just to avoid any confusion!
