About Haynes Manuals: The worldwide leader in automotive repair, maintenance, and customizing manuals Haynes Manuals are a must read for all car owners. Haynes Manuals are the ultimate DIY guidebook for used, collector, and newer vehicles.  As one of the most widely read automotive books in the world, Haynes Manuals covers the motoring industry from Acura to Volvo, from BMW to Honda.  What sets Haynes Manuals apart is the attention to detail that goes into the production of each book.  Every manual is written from hands-on experience based on a complete teardown, which is the step-by-step procedure of dismantling a particular vehicle part-by-part.  This is followed by the detailed rebuilding of the specific model it documents.  Writing each manual takes 30 man-weeks, with authors working as teams to shorten the production time and avoid fatigue during the difficult process. Hundreds of photographs accompany each manual's step-by-step instructions. The books are written from the actual experience of Haynes' own expert personnel using only a basic set of tools and presented in a style that any DIYer can follow, even a beginner. The DIYer can save a great deal of time and money, not to mention feeling proud of the job, by using a Haynes manual.
