listen, I wouldnt mind helping you out, but the way it sounds, you could have been working on it all weekend by yourself. I know you dont know much about cars yet, but you can at least start taking it apart. I didnt have my dad hold my hand every step of the way, but when I got stumped I'd ask for help. Just start taking it apart by yourself. this way if something breaks, you wont have to rush around trying to find a part last minute.

Besides, we all said we would help you out, not do it for you. I'd do it for you all by myself, but I'd charge you just like a shop would. One thing you have to learn is that things do go wrong when working on a car, but that doesnt mean you should be afraid to break a few things while wrenching. This sounds harsh, but instead of posting here about how you "give up" you should be outside taking your car apart.
