That really depends on how mechanically skilled you are, what tools you have, and what you want to fix. If you want to learn to do it yourself, I'd start with getting and factory service manual from ford, not a chilton's, haynes, or such, the FSM has everything in it, but it does assume working knowledge of terminology. Also, get good tools, at least craftsman if not snap-on or mac, they will do the job right, last forever (lifetime warranty) and will save you from getting hurt. What are you trying to fix, or is this a "if I have to do this at some point, how?" thread?
