This site has some pretty cool videos on how to do a lot of bike maintenance.

Here is the vid/instructions for RD adjustment.

The Park Tool website (http://www.parktool.com) offers alot of technical information and repair how tos (http://www.parktool.com/repair/byregion.asp). Here are their links that should help you out-

Another thing that would help, and I've done it, is watch a mech. or someone who knows how to do the job. It's more of an "apprentice" approach, but it works quite well. Not for everyone though.
