The 4-part series by Chris Cuff is very thorough for disassembly. The part where he removes the over-arm or stabilizer arm lever is key to replacing it after the cleaning operation on the slide bar.
I have not gone to the extreme of removing the base plate casting as he does in part 4. Perhaps if a changer is sufficiently dirty and gummed up (like any BSR) , this become necessary.

The most recent issue with the '62 Motorola changer is erratic operation when playing at 78 rpm. The platter stops and starts. The idler pulley alignment and shafts seem OK, so a weak spring that pulls the idler shaft against the motor shaft/capstan is the current suspect. The idler wheel gets pulled toward the capstan AND platter by the pinch-drive action but "bounces" off and slips. BTW the "tire" was rebuilt.
