Default pull-pull rudder set-up

I an setting up a pull-pull rudder on a Phoenix Extra 330S, and have never done a pull-pull set-up before. The instructions say to use crimping pliers once you feed the cable through the crimp connector. I don't have crimping pliers, but should be able to make the connection with needle nose pliers. My question is whether or not I should solder the crimp connections? This would give me more confidence in the connection, but I wonder if the heat would weaken the cable near the connection. I really don't think it would, but I'd really appreciate some input from somebody with experience with this type of connection. Thank you in advance for your helpful response.
