• Photograph complex assemblies before disassembly.
• When stuck, explain the problem out loud — half the time the answer appears.

Common mistakes

• Starting without checking you can undo the change.

FAQ

How do I maintain the result?

Add the final maintenance step to a calendar. Ten minutes monthly prevents most regressions.

What if I get stuck?

Return to the last verified checkpoint and redo the failing step slowly. If it still fails, search for the exact error or symptom rather than the general task.

How long does this take?

Most people finish the core steps in one focused session. First-timers should double the estimate and add a break halfway.
