Howdy. You might want to rent a pressure washer and blow all the gunk off the underside of the car before you start the disassembly. A 3000 psi pressure washer works much better than cans and cans of rattle can degreaser and the local coin operated car wash bay. If you have the room, get the car up on jackstands and the wheels off beforehand.

Another suggestion: have 2 cans of carb cleaner handy. When you take something apart, drop the fasteners and small parts into one can. Label the lid with crayon. The next day, you have clean parts to label and bag up. You can cycle between the 2 cans if things are coming off pretty fast.

Finally, get some bottles of non-aerosol liquid wrench and apply liberally the day before you plan to wrench.

You probably know all this, but I just learned it. Good Luck.
