General Service Information: Disassembly

If the disassembly procedure is complex, requiring many parts to be disassembled, all parts should be disassembled in a way that will not affect their performance or external appearance.

1. Inspection of parts 

   Each part, when removed, should be carefully inspected for malfunction, deformation, damage, and other problems.
