Seconded about starting with brakes.<p>Unlike the rest of the car, brakes are designed from the beginning to be replaceable. This makes them much easier to work on, and as long as you don&#x27;t forget to insert the pads it&#x27;s pretty obvious if you did it right.<p>Do one side at a time, so you have the other side to copy in case you are not sure at any step.<p>You&#x27;ll need to learn how to lift a car, never work under a jack, always jack stands, and always two stands. (More stands, or stands plus the jack &quot;as backup&quot; is actually LESS safe! Stands are safe because in order to tip over you have to raise the car against gravity - you don&#x27;t want anything that reduces the full weight of the car against the stands.)
