Personally I can't stand Chiltons or Haynes unless I'm trying to prop a table with a short leg. The information is very generic because it encompasses all years. It also assumes you have no real skills and any past changing spark plugs should be referred to a mechanic.
CDs are also fairly worthless since you either have to print out everything or bring your laptop into the garage.
Get a REAL service manual. They're under $30 on eBay almost EVERY day.
Here's an example that took me 2 minutes to find....
