The key to me being confident doing this stuff is that we have two cars and if I fuck one up for a couple days, it's no big deal for it to sit there un-drivable while we use the other one and I figure out how to fix the broken one.
I never did work on our car when it was the only one and we needed to use it in a few hours. Too much pressure.
Edit: I'm probably as bad as the kid who screwed yours up. I just learn from my mistakes and eventually get it right. And I have the time to get it right.
