Go to the bike shop and ask them to SHOW you how to do it. Emphasize that you want to learn, not just get it fixed.

My friends in the bike shop have taught me so much. One thing they have convinced me is that adjusting cables is one of the trickiest jobs of their business. I don't feel embarrassed that I can't do it on my own. It really is not an easy thing.

Neither is brakes.

Changing out your chain, or cassette, or building a wheel is easier than messing with those darn cables.
