That is why we mark and bag/tag parts upon disassembly.

It is a standard of good practice when disassembling and reassembling machinery of any type to return used parts to their original location, chains, valves, pistons, shafts etc.

It calls out in the manual to mark the chain on disassembly to insure it goes back in the same orientation. If you are using a new chain no need to worry about it, just remember going forward to mark and reinstall in the same manner.

as I take parts out, I lay them down on microfiber rags in the sequence relating to their position in the bike.
I've heard from early on that everything should go back where it came from.
