Excellent start!
Make good use of the camera on your phone: plenty of snaps of the components in place and as you disassemble them and/or make notes, use sticky labels etc.
Buy good quality tools as and when you need them; cheap tools are a false economy: they don't last, damage the part you are working on and skin your knuckles (and usually all three).
Don't pull the whole bike apart to begin with: take a bit off, clean and (if needed) lube before replacing and making sure it works before moving on. The back brake is a good place to start.
