if you have lot's of bench space like me. I got rolls of butchers paper and I drop them in piles then write on the paper what they are and any notes I can think of to put them back togeter.

when pulling wires and hoses off if it looks complicated then I grab some thin masking tape and the same pen and write where they go. if their's too many I just resort to mumbera and letters in both ends.

obviously wires and vac/heater hoses aren't going to kill you if it's a a series....

This method only pays if you have a BIG bench space and it's not going to be apart for too long.

abviously I use envelopes for longer periods of time.

Idon't like the glad bags idea as I was forever letting the texta's dry out and eventually can't find one that works!!!! bit of a bummer.... pens don't dry out

obviously envelopes like to tear and their's their downside. Just putting it out there for ya you might not have enough bench space though???


In a land of bulging Garages, the man with bench space is King :!: How do ya do it!!

Be very careful using paper, cardboard or anything else that can absorb oil...cue 1071 and his epicyclic gearbox story :lol:

A good idea could be to combine the digital photos with the butchers paper to write down all the notes and take photos off ..... then store

I would probably set the camera up on a tripod and keep it focussed on the magic square.....

Keep up these great ideas guys.....

YEAH I do have a lot of bench real estate :D :D :D lucky me


stuff the digi cam and the buthers paper off pull the vide camera out and make the worksop manual an interactive DVD with a bonus section on how to get your hands into weird places.... I am just being silly. on average a decent pulldown will take you a lot longer to put back together so be carefull if you take notes and sort you'll be OK. Worry if you have bolt's left over isn't wort it!!

PICS and video are helpfull but sometime's you can go OTT and end up creating more mess with PIC'S and film. Pace yourself and try and do one thing at a time, that's my biggest mistake :cry: :cry: I forget something that was simple

Go to the bank and ask for some change bags. They just give them away. I have a couple of long narrow cardfile drawers and storage containers which fit the bags nicely. Label them up and you're good to go.

For bigger stuff, I'll often write on the part itself, or use masking tape labels.

Heaps of photos from various angles (as mentioned) will save your sanity!
