I did this last year with a friend that is a mechanic. What we did was pull them off, save them, then marked them and kept them in the same position as we adjusted the new ones to the same length/position insuring that we counted the threads (both of us) twice on the old and and the ones to be even more sure that we had them as they were before.

Count the threads, and have someone else double check your count and you should be just fine!
