It takes all kinds..

In the majority of my classes, we get put into groups of people that we have to work with for the rest of the semester. Since college is supposed to prepare us for the "real world " we get the opportunity to work with all different kinds of people. People who actually want to learn, and those who don't. People who are genuine, and those that are a**holes. People who have knowledge and those who don't know "anything". People who lift you up, and those that bring you down. People who don't look at you any differently based on your gender, and those who think you will never make it because you are a female or even in some cases just a "stupid" male that doesn't know anything. In the past few semesters, I have had team members that have been all of the above in one way or another... 

In my Diesel engine maintenance class, we have been learning about Kysor vs Horton fan clutches. The truck we are working on has a Kysor fan clutch. We could not get our fan clutch to disengage. We applied air to it, and it still would not turn. With the Kysor type fan clutch, in the event of air pressure failure, the fan clutch remains engaged which prevents the engine from overheating. There are four people including myself in our group. It is extremely hard for four people to be working on something, you typically end up with one or two people standing around doing nothing. So, with the help of one of my team members, we got the fan clutch off the truck and tore apart (I did not take any pictures of that). 

This is the only picture I got of the fan clutch assembly. 

This is a Kysor On/Off Diagnostic Guide that one of our teachers gave us to maybe help diagnose the problem.
