Proper TOOLS LIKE SCREWDRIVER, PLIERS, PRIER, AND PUTTY KNIFE ETC ETC should be kept handy. -----

ALWAYS KEEP MARKER AND HANDY-CAM READY, WHILE PERFORMING THESE JOBS.

MARKER COMES IN USE TO MARK THE POSITION OR PARTICULAR WIRE OR SCREW AND HANDY CAM COMES IN USE FOR GETTING THE EXACT PICTURE OF PART,WHEN IT WAS ASSEMBLED, SO After DIS-ASSEMBLY, YOU CAN JUST VIEW THE PICTURE/PHOTO AND THAT HELPS YOU A LOT while reassembling.
