buy the haynes manual for your car, this shows you in simple steps, how to do repairs, but as you are a novice, you might need to ask any friends if they can help you, or a night school class, as you can injure yourself if you do not know what you are doing, but after all, we all had to start learning the basic's and learning as we go, thats what this forum is for, to help and advise. Good Luck.
