-arse and -irse verb conjugation
I have all of these verbs that end in -arse or -irse that I have to conjugate and I have no idea what part is the stem, so I don't know what part I need to leave and/or take off! Some of the verbs are afeitarse, bañarse, cepillarse, dormirse, etc. I know what they all mean,and I know what letters they need to end in for the conjugations, (o, es, etc.) I just don't know how to conjugate them! (if that makes sense)

I just realized that was a really dumb question to ask because the -arse and -irse are what I take off. Sorry for the stupidity!
No worries, not stupid at all. It just takes some practice, and it´s easy to get confused at first (and for that matter, later, in fact, I´m not sure it ever stops)
But anyway, if you know how to look at the endings as irse and arse (and by the way, -serse exits too) then you already know how to find the root. It´s all that stuff to the left of the ¨-¨
In general, those verbs all conjugate normally, regardless of being -ar, -er, or -ir, and regardless of whether they´re reflexive. Sure, you have to know where to put the reflexive particle (the grammar section here has a bunch of good articles on that) but the conjugation is absolutely normal. Don´t let it throw you off. And note, sometimes there are two correct options.
Ir -- to go Irse -- to leave
I leave -- me voy you leave -- te vas, or, se va he-she-it leaves -- se va we leave -- nos vamos they leave -- se van
I leave (or I´m leaving) -- me voy I want to leave -- quiero irme You want to leave - quieres irte I have to leave Tengo que irme I am going to leave -- Voy a irme. You need to leave -- Necesitas irte.
All regular conjugation. Just the reflexive pronoun moving about a bit. You´ll get used to it soon enough
Buena suerte.
I believe you just have to add the reflexive pronoun and change the stem (ar,ir,er) to its normal conjugated verb por ejemplo: bañarse= me baño, me bañé, ect. - te bañas, te bañaste, etc.
