You don't need to be a mechanical guru to do most of your own bike maintenance but you do need to know what to do and how to do it.
The best way here is by trial and error, but you should get some guidance to help you along. If your local bike shop is any good they will be will to advise and help you, if they don't then ask yourself if the are the right bike shop for you. They will also be able to sell you your tools that you need. Checkout our maintenance guide for an idea on what tools you would need and how to use them. The other ideal resource is to get some mtb maintenance books, they will provide a good overview on how to maintain things. For specific details on certain parts you can find most info online at the manufacturers website in their online manuals. Start small with the things that you do on your bike regularly with the basic tools then move onto the more involved maintenance.
With the right tools and practice you should be able to do everything except shock servicing and brake bleeding.
