Just make sure the other drum has the same width bush, thin and wide bush drums do not interchange as individual items.

I failed to take a pic of the front clutches, but they are also alto red material and kolene steels.

It’s pretty straightforward. Hold a rag over the detent spring area when you remove the rooster comb, its likely to fly across the workshop never to be seen again otherwise. Set that ball and spring aside so they don’t get mixed up. Its just a case of laying stuff out as assemblies in the order they come out and in the position they came from. If you strip it all and just chuck the bits in a bucket, you’ll struggle when it comes to reassembly. The TF2 instructions are good but they no longer include a photo of all the valve body components laid out in order, that was really helpful.
