Recommendation

I've done several bike tours and a lot of local riding, but I know absolutely squat about how to do almost anything other than change the tires...and even that's iffy if it's the back tires and my brakes need adjusting afterwards. Could someone please recommend a book or online course that takes you from the absolute beginning and walks you through most repairs? I know there are sites like Sheldon Brown's (love it) that give a lot of info, but I'm not even at that point. I'm tired of being spooked by the thought of a broken spoke. It would also be nice to be able to ....disassemble/assemble my bike without having to rely on the availability of an LBS, one of which royally screwed me in Canada. The problem with a lot of sites that I've visited is that they assume you have a working knowledge of the tools or some mechanical abilities. I don't. The more diagrams/videos/basic instructions, the better.

Thanks in advance!
