Its fairly simple. Ya can just lay stuff out in a line as ya remove it. Reassemble in reverse.
If ya don't have one now would be a good time for me ta mention ya will need a wheel puller ta remove the wheel from the splined shaft.
Mines pretty old but I reckon this can be bought at most auto parts store for less than $20.00.

Disconnect the NEG post on the battery first. May save some of your friendships with the neighbors

If this is a tilt wheel, you need a bolt (special tool) to keep the shaft from pulling upward when using the steering wheel puller.
There is a full description in a past thread. If you can't find it let me know.

I changed my wheel on a Sunday morning without disconnecting the battery.
It came off easily. '82 doesn't require a wheel puller.
But putting everything back together, the neighbors wanted to know why I was blowing my horn so much.

Its fairly easy to unplug the horn relay. That stops it from blowing while working.
