Put any screw or other part you remove in an envelope, index that envelope to a clear photo of the place it was removed from, and number the envelopes in the order the parts were removed.  This way, you can re-assemble the machine by reversing the order of disassembly, and the envelopes make it much harder to lose anything.  For large parts that don't fit in an envelope, tie a label to the part with the same information you would have written on the envelope.
