YouTube videos are great for fixing your own vehicle

I used to buy Chilton Manuals for vehicles that I own, now I just watch You Tube videos. You can learn to do everything from changing that third brake light above the rear window, changing electric window switches, headlights, backup and brake lights, brakes, rotors, alternators, fuel filters.... Just type in the year make and model and there are lots of instructions. You may not get a video for the exact year or trim of your vehicle but you can find something close. I made my own brake breeder set up using some 5/16th tubing and a glass jar. Since i have no friends to help me bleed the brakes. Some links on cool hints. I used a glass jar and glued a piece of rubber on top for a tighter fit.

Eating ass has nothing to do with fixing vehicles unless you are trying to get your neighbor to help you.

Google is good for diagnostics.

All of my vehicles I bought factory service manuals when I bought them new. I still use Google and Youtube as a shortcut.

I love YouTube help videos! I've used them for everything from properly wrapping hands for boxing to training my dog how to ring a bell when he needs to go outside. It definitely helps a lot. I don't have a car or I would probably use it to fix my vehicle as well.
