My best advice is to get ready to crawl, bend, bump your head, feel around and work blindly. Re-assembly is even more 'fun'. Sorry to have to deliver the news. We report, you decide.

I would like to see a picture of all of the fasteners layed out. There are a bunch of them of all sorts and sizes, nuts, bolts, washers, sheet metal screws, rivets.
