Put down your tools. And buy the HD factory service manual.

A Factory Service Manual is worth it's weight in gold, they are excellent. Go find one, hard copy, used on the Bay, PDF whatever you gotta do. It will provide a full explanation for disassembly and assembly including torque values as needed, good luck.
