Not really. At first a simple oil change seemed like over my head... until I did it. Then came the transmission fluid... the diff fluid changes... Now brakes - I thought I could never do it by myself... but I have done it after receiving proper guidance.
So, I've learned the lesson: I am a fast learner... show me how to do it, and I'll do it.

Personally, if I haven't done it before, I wouldn't.

You realize what you just said is a catch-22 type of thing: with that attitudinal approach there will never be a first time. Sometimes it pays off to be a bit adventurous... gather as much information as possible about something, then go ahead and do it...

An exception to that is if I have a qualified tech or someone who has done it before do it for me first and let me learn later or one of them standing by in case I get something FUBARed. Now, GPs, who cares? What is the worst thing that happens? The car doesn't start? That is optional. Stopping, well, that is mandatory. So, once again, do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Should I now be expecting a .44 mag slug coming my way any time soon? Or more precisely a .44 special slug... I hear he used .44 specials in his S&W mod. 29 .44 mag...
[I do understand your safety concerns, by the way...]
