I suggest you take pictures as you take each piece off for reference of reassembly.
This will also help if your machine is missing something that is (suppose to be there) not there.

Also use quart and gallon size Ziploc freezer bags, So you can ( bag and tag) the smaller parts.

A Nice set of roll pin punches is a Plus.

And with any Disassembly /Reassembly ( If it would go don't force it).
