Never throw away the old part - When working on a car the old part can be more valuable than the new part. The old part is needed for reference and comparison to the new part. Before any assembly can begin, take a minute to compare. If something looks wrong STOP and get out the reference material or call the manufacture. Forcing the part never helped any situation.
Take lots of pictures - Refer to the disassembly photos. There are many holes in the frame and it is impossible to remember which are the correct holes for the part. If you do not have photos, many parts retailers sell factory assembly manuals that show in detail where each of the clips are located in the frame. The manuals are available for cars such as Camaro, Chevelle, Nova and Corvette through Inline Tube.
