Ok....
How did I learn before the internet?
I read up on things in a manual, got the correct tools, and took my time. I started slow, hoses, belts, tune ups, oil change, then moved on to transmission lines, brakes, electrical, etc.
If I didn't have the tool I bought it, if I was unsure I took it to a shop, until I could learn.
Learning is good but there is a right way and a wrong way. You don't wire a house, turn on the power and then ask what color the ground wire is. You read, ask questions, get the tools, take a class, etc. first.
Learning is not an excuse for doing it wrong. I don't do work then pray when I get in the car or on the bike and hope I don't die because I might not of done it correctly or I know I didn't.
I am not trying to be mean, I think it's great you want to learn. But, you need to slow down and start found things correctly. You might need to take a class in basic mechanics, or read up more first. Bolts have torque ratings, are you using a torque wrench? Do you have the tools? If not, get the tools first.
