Shawn,
You may or may not have a digital camera but that is what I used to tell me
exactly what the "current" positioning of all the parts were before I
started
removing them. I also never remove the "other side" before I'm done with
the side I'm working on. I put the rear of the van on jack stands and remove
both wheels and drums, then use the other side as the reverse template.

It's a no brainer but then, that accommodates my cranial incapacity nicely.
;-)
