Hey all,

I am wondering how to learn about auto work. I am self taught in many things but this subject evades me somewhat. It seems like the kind of thing that someone would teach to you directly but most of my learning comes from self study interacting with things directly and reading texts.

My brakes are starting to make a squeaking noise when I come to a stop and as a result I have gained an interest in learning about some basic auto work.

Does anyone have any good resources where you can learn about these things in a sequential manner? That is to say, learning the most basic concepts up to the more advanced concepts?

Thanks.

    BE CAREFUL!!!

    i taught myself how to change my own brakes because they were also squealing and i nearly killed myself because i didn’t do it right the first time i tried using them.

    in retrospect: i should have tested my new brakes as hard and as heavy as i could before trying to take it onto the freeway and not just trying them a side streets going slower than 45mph.
