Kershaw chive assembly?

Hi!
Recently I finally found my lost kershaw chive in the woods. It had a lot rust and did not open very smoothly. I decided to take it apart to clean it, thinking that putting it back together would be simple. When I unscrewed the last screw, the tortion bar flew out and all the pieces went everywhere. After collecting them, I attempted to assemble it, but discovered that it was harder then I thought. I have never taken apart an a/o knife before and I am especially confused with the tortion bar. I would appreciate any info/pics on the general assembly of a kershaw a/o knife, order of pieces, placement of the tortion bar, etc.
Thanks!
 
ok, get the side without the lock on it. Lay it down. next goes the liner. then put the pivot in, then slide a spacer on that. put the blade on the pivot and put a spacer on the blade and pivot. then put the torsion bar in. then put the back spacer on. then put the top liner with the torsion bar cutouts on then the scale. screw it all together with the pivot being last :-). Im hoping i remember correctly, ive done a few kershaws. Oh, lube up the torsion bar, there it goes into the blade and where it goes into the liner. Also lube up inside the liner, itll stop it from rattling. put a little oil on the blade and the spacers, but try not to put too much.
