Post links to repair manuals, and other resources for getting repair info.

There's always your local library system. Not only might they have a repair manual for your car, but they may have access to an online repair manual system. Check local libraries and if you're a student check your school library. They might have access to EBSCOHost's Auto Repair Reference Center (http://www.ebscohost.com/thisTopic.php?topicID=35&marketID=6) site, for example, and you might be able to access it from home with your library card number.

Some sites with free repair manuals:
http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm
http://www.oldirononline.com

Hyundai and Kia manuals straight from the manufacturer:
http://www.carspace.com/guides/Online-Repair-Manuals
http://www.hmaservice.com
http://www.kiatechinfo.com

Honda-specific ones are abundant (but don't help me):

Exploded parts diagrams for Hondas: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

http://docs.google.com/View?id=dgw2d6hg_241gsjv7scv

It looks like Bentley ( http://www.bentleypublishers.com ) doesn't offer online content, but most of the other repair manual companies (Chilton's, Helm, Alldata) offer online access for a fee.

Anyone got any more, especially free online ones?
