EXCELLENT ADVICE! The biggest thing you have to concern yourself with is making sure you do not distort the body, which will happen if you're not very careful. Trust me, checking, double checking, dry fitting, etc may sound like a PITA, but it's nothing compared to the nightmare you could face when you try to put all that stuff back together and it doesn't fit together properly.
