Ok I just bought a set of texas special pickups for my squier strat and I just wondering if there's something I should take care before, during and after changing the pickups?

You'll need to cut fresh threads through the holes at the bottom of each bobbin for the pickup mounting screws. This is best accomplished with the pickup loose in your hand rather than already soldered to the wiring harness beneath the pickguard. Hold the pickup cover in place to protect the coil as you do this, using a philips screwdriver and a single pickup screw to ream away the wax potting and create the threads through the plastic. Cautious is the operative word during this procedure.

Best of luck, HTH
