I usually second guess myself on which spacer goes on which side of the axle for the front wheel. So I look up the parts diagram on line to verify.

does paying attention to how they come off help?

does paying attention to how they come off help? Always, I usually put everything i take off in a place on the floor that mimics how it goes back together.

But I've made the mistake of kicking or moving the things accidentally. If that is the case you can always reference a schematic/parts diagram to verify.

Maybe loosen all fasteners for both wheels but leave them in place to minimize the force required to undo the various bolts and then remove them per wheel.

I have some ratchet loading straps that i use from the ceiling to the handle bars to stabilize and hold the front wheel off the ground, very reliably, many ways to do this

Understood. My stuff lies about outside on the ground because there is no garage. So keeping parts organized is important, but mishaps do happen.

I'm a tad nervous about balancing on the center stand with 4x4s holding up the front and rear. Should I be worried. Really don't want to drop it in the garage.

Thanks
