Hello, its a good start. To reduce ur efforts in future, see if u can find the service manual for ue bike with illustrated part numbers. and apart from tools also get penetrating liquids like WD40..spray on those overtight nuts for some time..they will come off easier instead of ripping... finaly oil spills are normal but better to clean off with generous spray of car brake cleaners. For some parts like spark plug, use copper grease on the theads so they will come off easily.
