Here's a few suggestions, Ken.

1. Clear a large work area and lay down a towel on the table of workbench.
Why: small parts have a way of leaping off the reel as you disassemble
it. Less clutter means a greater chance of finding it, and the towel keeps
the little springs and clips from bouncing away.


Snip all the other good advice.

If you can, do it over a hard floor surface. Not over a carpeted
floor.

Why you ask? Because those little parts and springs that launch into
the unknown are so much easier to find on a hard surface. If it's
quiet you can hear where they hit for a hint on which direction to
search first.

If you do lose a piece on a carpet, put a piece of nylon stocking over
the end of the vacuum and it won't make it into the dirt filled bag.
