not realy....just make sure you put all the bolts that go to a specific part in a plastic bag...label it..and put it with the part, or tape it to the part...to keep it all organized.

they key to it is patience...you will run into a few problems..so just take your time

I had my 400ex tore down to only the frame with the motor out in about 7 hours, and that's with NO power tools..:macho

if you had trouble, its probably bent. mine was bent so bad one time, i had to get the cutting torch out, impact hammers wouldnt touch it:D

The first time i took the motor in and out of one it was a B!tch! but after that it was easy, just get alota sandwich bags or something of the sort and some sharpies and start labeling ;)
