[QUOTE="User121314, post: 884830, member: 16824"] I agree that this is absolutely the way to go when doing normal maintenance & purely for part replacement. Where knowledge & experience are needed is in analysis - an example that comes to mind is repacking wheel bearings. If, as a layman, one cannot tell that they are blued from overheating, or see the pitting, then one will simple repack & carry on regardless, when in fact they should be replaced. I've seen folks repack front wheel bearings on a B-King, when the cages were a rainbow of colours. It took a lot of convincing (and eventually a phone call to an experienced mechanic) before they would believe that they needed to replace them. This is the type of scenario when "home-mechanic/backyard-mechanic" becomes dangerous. [/QUOTE]
