 |Lay your rollers in a magnetic parts tray which actually magnetized them enough to stick to the bearing race without any grease. Works even better with oil in the tray.

+====== Cardboard Parts Holders ======
+Cardboard can be very useful to hold bolts, tools and others. \\
+You can use a piece of cardboard ripped from a mailing box or an old pizza box. \\
+Choose a piece of cardboard that is not too big to safely store out of the way. \\
+Cardboard is especially helpful when you remove screws of different lengths or sizes from the primary or gearcase cover. \\
+**Primary / Gearcase Cover** \\
+Keeping the bolts in order as you take them off saves time and headache of remembering which length goes where during installation. \\
+Using the template as a habit, you'll never have to worry about where a bolt came from when reassembling anything. ((cjburr of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=49915&page=7)) \\
+Make an outline on the cardboard using the new gasket, the cover itself or just wing it. \\
+Write any notes on the cardboard that will help you remember things like sizes, torque value or whatever. \\
+Poke the holes for the screws with a punch or Phillips screwdriver. \\

+====== Book Table / Holder ======
+If you are working in the heat and have a fan blowing on you, you know how fast the wind turns the pages of your service manual. \\
+Below is a portable book table made from scrap aluminum. This can also be easily made from plywood and 3/4" planks. \\
+The backboard (portion that the service manual sits against) measures 12x19". It's actually 13-3/4" tall due to the 1-3/4" book stop on the bottom. \\
+The back legs are made from some scrap aluminum sheet with an angle end cap. \\
+The page holders are made from 2 clothes hangers cut, bent, twisted and screwed to the book stop with fender washers. \\
+They keep the wind from turning your pages and also keep the pages from turning themselves (new books not worn in yet) \\
+This one is made so you can move it from one place to another. \\
+You can hard mount it to a table or your tool box with some creative 2x4 attachments or such. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\
