If you are not used to it, then best to take a picture so you are comfortable with the reassembly. Take off all the nuts, remove the resistor(s), clean the eyelets and visually inspect that there is no damage to the resistor. Often you will find one popped away from the porcelain, but you can't tell until removed. Once the integrity is verified, get your DVM/VOM and set it to Ohms and then test each resistor. To understand the color code and value assignment you read the first three stripes to find the value (ohms). The first and second stripes are single digits; the third is the number of zeroes that follow the first two numbers or the multiplier factor. Match the numbers with the colors: black is 0, brown is 1, red is 2, orange is 3, yellow is 4, green is 5, blue is 6, violet is 7, gray is 8, and white is 9.

The fourth stripe shows the diode or resistor's accuracy tolerance: Gold indicates +/-5%; silver is +/-10%. If there is no fourth stripe, the tolerance rating is +/-20%. The accuracy tolerance rating means that a certain percentage of power above or below the diode/resistor's rating can go through without affecting the unit.

Once this is all done, verify the wires, contact pads and then adjust the wiper arm during reassembly.

I have attached a 4-band color code chart for your reference.
