The proper ways of taking things apart and

putting them back together

To avoid getting into chaotic situation when doing your assembly and

disassembly works, try to be as organized as possible. Do your work on a clean,

dry and flat surface which is close enough to reach without having to walk back

and forth to access the necessary tools.

In fact, it is best to work things out on a big white towel. The towel provides a

color contrast, thus making it easy to see the parts as you lay them down.

Before you remove each part, ask yourself the following questions and take

notes if possible:

1. What is this, and what is it for?

2. Why is it made the way it is?

3. How tightly is it screwed on out-of-the-box? How hard is it to remove?

As you remove each part, lay it down on a clean flat surface in clockwise order,

with each part pointing in the direction it laid when it was in place. Assign each

part a number indicating the order in which it was removed. When you are ready

to put them back together, start with the last part you removed and then go

counterclockwise through the rest of the parts. If possible, go to your

manufacturer’s website (or any other web site) and look for any documentation

files (mostly in PDF format) they offer for free download. Many of them include

very detailed fly-out diagrams, a complete list of all parts as well as where they

fit. This will greatly lessen any confusion you might have when putting things

back together.
