Week 2

The next few weeks we will be practicing in stations to learn the basics. Things such as double flaring brake lines, drilling and tapping a hole, inserting a helicoil, and using micrometers and calipers to measure things. 

I originally worked as a temp at Detroit Diesel in the Block Repair department. Part of my duties were to drill out threads that couldn't be cleaned or were broken and re-tap them. It's nice to get a refresher as that was 2-3 years ago I can't remember the exact times.

 In brakes class we are still practicing with different brake systems and learning about more of the components like the compressor and air dryer.
