Your missing the point... Sure a repair manual is great, heck a factory trained mechanic is great to. How about repair video's or even go take courses yourself... The point is not everyone is a trained mechanic, not everyone is going to have a repair manual, some people aren't going to spend the money or they just get part way through doing something and hit a road block. The wiki gives an idea of where to go and how to do it. Its not perfect, and yes YouTube and other sources can have mistakes. Again, the point of a Wiki. If you notice a mistake you can correct it. Also common sense is always a good thing.

These types of how to's are all over the web, its nice to have them in one spot when you need them.
