As you saw in Try This 2, exploded views are very important for many trades. Imagine that you work as a mechanic in your community. You are about to repair an alternator. Do you have the skills to follow an exploded view? Can you reassemble the alternator? Work through Alternator Assembly to find out.

 

This is a play button that opens Alternator Assembly.
