As always, I would recommend that you remember exactly where you remove the screws from, on this particular model, we did not see that the screws were different lengths. I would recommend sorting them in a pattern that is familiar, such as clockwise or counterclockwise. This way when replacing the screws you know exactly the order to put them back in.
