Carefully and often requiring a BFH.

Id recommend getting one of the flathead manuals and spend some time familiarizing yourself with the internals, tools required (some unique to the beast) and procedures.
This is not something to be covered in a few paragraphs.

Once youve skinned your knuckles and learned a few new cuss words then ask questions as you go along. After about 45 years of working on flatheads I feel comfortable answering some questions
