First find a space with decent lighting, a location if something falls on the floor you have 50/50 chance of finding it, also cover up any floor vents. I work on a silicone soldering mat, also if there are small parts you can take the reel apart in a bag or box. Make sure you use the right screwdivers. Last use a quality grease and oil do not over do it. When in doubt go to you tube, I also took pictures of each step of my disassembly. Just take your time,
