I've taken a couple of bikes apart and put them back together again.

My personal method is zip-loc bags. For assemblies like the rear spacers, etc. I use zip-ties and zip-tie everything in order.

That fella above needs to stick to paying people to work on his bikes.

I use zip lock bags, small boxes, zip ties, anything to keep stuff together. As long as nothing gets lost

He went 3500 miles and didn't lube his chain or check it for tension? I check the air in my tires and inspect the wheel/chain/sprocket before every ride

Tackle box... all those little compartments... and you can latch them up to keep everything in place for when you knock it off the workbench.

And maybe, in more temperate climes, the excess heat from that slight misalignment would be dissipated, but maybe that 105 ambient Texas heat was just enough to push it over the edge into meltdown territory?
Uh, no.
