But in doing it wrong you are still learning.
And IMO more importantly in figuring stuff out, you are learning how to figure stuff out. The sort of reasoning you need to do this stuff can only be built by practice NOT by being spoon fed.
I can tell you how to strip brakes and rebuild them, but that will not equip you to check your valves. Whereas figuring out how to do your own brakes WILL prepare you to figure out how to check your valves. Geddit?
It's like learning a language. Me telling you a sentence "ich bin ein berliner" or whatever, may be gramatically correct in that language. But figuring out how to correctly construct a sentence you can only do yourself. Haynes manuals and the like are a translation dictionary to help you along
