Default 1956 Victoria rear end gasket replacement

Hello guys. As you can see from the first picture I have a bit of a leak from the rear end that I'd like to address. I've read through the manual and I just want to confirm with you all that I didn't miss anything.

step 1: drain rear end of oil
step 2: remove 4 bolts on the u-joint and drop down the drive shaft
step 3: remove 10 bolts around the circumference of the rear end housing
step 4: pull the casing forward toward the front of the car

Is it correct that all of the gears will be retained in the housing when I pull it apart from the axle? I'm a bit nervous that the innards will fall out or things will move around when I separate it. I just want to clean the inside and replace the gasket. Any advice? thanks!

Brian
