Install computer and monitor in garage.
Take photos of everything you need (+more) so you have a reference as to how parts install as you disassemble. Leave sufficient breathing room around the photo subject to provide context of where it is. You can always zoom after retrieving the photo file.
Load all images into the hard drive, then create a folder (individual files if necessary) for each assembly, subassembly or system.
Glean factory manuals and books for exploded illustrations in PDF, load into the HD, then file in organized elec. folders for convenient assembly reference. Repeat for pertinent torque specs.
Keeping dirty, as removed parts together is good for re-assembly memory joggers. However, unless you have a matching set of freshly plated fasteners, at some point you may have to gang or individually clean and assemble them, and the cleaned fasteners go into one container for the plater. A bucket of fasteners can be a point of confusion as to what fasteners go where. An elephant-like memory is good. Otherwise, the only thing you can do is record the fastener description (qty-size-pitch-length) on a photo file or a piece of paper and store that with the relevant parts.
Bag and tag and place related parts together in their own container.
