I had obtained shop manuals for every car I ever owned. Almost always I only used them to find out how to disassemble something. Somewhat interesting observation that before model year 1995 or something like that the shop manuals generally included detailed mechanical drawings of various custom tools and jigs (detailed enough that you could conceivably manufacture the thing with dremel and lathe), since then you only get order numbers.
