I'll second the Townsend instructions. They are very thorough.
I get some 1 gallon and 1 quart ziplock freezer bags. Put small parts and fasteners in them as you take them off and label the bags with a sharpie. Keep everything in separate labeled bags. This is extra important if you get in a snag and can't get back to the job immediately.
Be sure that you take the whole chain tensioner mechanism off the head. I'm not sure what size socket it takes but it requires a deep one. If you leave it on, you risk breaking the chain guide while taking the head off. If you break that, you are looking at pulling the motor to replace it.
