Adjusting a threadless stem

Hi I am messing around with my threadless stem for the first time to rearrange the spacers, flip the stem and lower it a bit. So it seems pretty simple but I just wanted to check here first. I am also going to be doing this with the bike on the ground and not on a workstand. Is it important to keep the wheel still while doing this?
First thing would be to take an allen wrench and undo the top cap on the steerer and take it off.
Loosen (or remove?) the clamp bolts on the stem also take off the face plate to take the handlebars off.
Then rearrange the spacers and flip the stem and put it back on the steerer
Put the top cap back on and tighten and then align the stem with the front wheel.
Tighten the clamp bolts on the stem and then reattach the handle bars

Is this all? any steps out of order?
