get a haynes and work through the list....

if you haven't done car servicing before get a mate to give you a hand, most stuff isn't too tricky to work out but helps if you have someone who knows a few tricks and saves you busting your knuckles...

Good call by Clancy. Trolly jack and/or axle stands.

Do not trust the standard jack if you are working under the car. It is unstable and not to be trusted for a second on level solid ground. Let alone any ground that is not solid or level.
