Four Main Tasks
Fixing the wipers All we had to do for this task was take the wipers off the wiper blade, and put them back on. This task didn't take much time.
Serpentine Belt For this task, we had to identify a serpentine belt in a car, we had to draw a diagram showing how the belt is put on the gears. Then we took the serpentine belt off and had to use our diagram to put the serpentine belt back on.
Performing a tire change For this task we had to demount a tire from its rim using the tire change machine, then we had to mount it back on.
Creating Nut and Bolt For this part, we had to cut pieces of steel to make a nut and bolt. We then used a tap to create a hole in the center of the nut, and a die to create lines on the bolt.
