Dont be discouraging, if the bloke wants to learn, be encouraging. Dont send him to a VW dealer for a radiator hose for an air cooled beetle. Just try and point in the right direction. Something like a Haynes manuel will assist. Yeah, tools are required. But for myself, i personally learn better from observation then what a book says. I can read, but i personally find you learn faster with a person on your back telling you when you **** up. Well, a person in the know. Learn it once learn it right. Basic maintenance isnt rocket surgery or brain sciaence. Most of that, you can do yourself. The first time you drop the oil plug in the pan, miss the pan, coat your hands in oil. Thats a lesson.
