I swiped this pic from a Facebook reel repair group. It may be useful to some who (like me) have problems working on the newer spinning reels. When I say newer, I mean 1980s to present. ;D
i've used this before, even ice cube trays until i knocked one over. now i just line them up and i'm usually ok.

been there done that ;D
thats an awesome tip Festus, but mostly for beginners, now I just line them up in the same pattern they were on the sideplate of the reel on a non slipping surface on my working table, and take lots of pictures with my phone ;) :D (in case one of my cats run over them)
Looks like a good safety measure--too easy to try to put a long screw in a short hole.
