Um usually serivce manuals will not tell you which screw goes where.
Suguesstion get some of the colored sharpies perminate markers mark them as
you take them out both on the screw head and on the boards then you will be
able to match them or use paint markers.

Make it easy on your self by doing this you will have over half the battle
solved!
Hope that helps you.

P.S. If the screws are black use paint markers. If crome use the sharpie
perminate markers.

Enjoy.
