Question 5

Technician A says that adhesive mounted nameplates may be removed using an induction heater. Technician B says that nameplates can be removed with fishing line. Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Both techniques are valid for removing adhesive-mounted nameplates. An induction heater can be used to heat and loosen the adhesive without damaging the paint, while fishing line can be used to cut through the adhesive.

Question 6

Technician A says that a castle nut and a self locking nut are both a one-time use fastener. Technician B says that internal snap rings are fasteners that fit into a groove on the outside of a part. Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

A castle nut and a self-locking nut are not necessarily one-time use fasteners. They can be reused as long as they meet the torque specifications during installation and are visually inspected for any signs of wear or damage before each use. 
Internal snap rings are fasteners that fit into a groove on the inside of a part, not the outside.

Question 7

Technician A says that an SPR is commonly used to bonding aluminum parts. Technician B says that to "R& I" a part means a technician will remove and install the same part. Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Both statements are correct. SPR stands for Self-Piercing Rivet, which is commonly used for bonding aluminum parts in automotive and other applications. "R&I" does indeed mean to Remove and Install the same part, a common practice in automotive repair and maintenance.

Question 8

____________________ washers are used to spread out the clamping force of the fastener.

Accepted Answer

The answer of ____________________ washers are used to spread out...

Question 9

Technician A says that most threaded SAE and Metric fasteners such as bolts are inter-changeable with each other. Technician B says a thread pitch gauge will tell the diameter of a bolt. Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Both Technician A and Technician B are incorrect. SAE and metric threaded fasteners are not interchangeable because they have different thread pitches and diameters. A thread pitch gauge can tell the thread pitch of a bolt, but not necessarily the diameter. To determine the diameter of a bolt, a caliper or micrometer should be used.

Question 10

Technician A says that if a bolt has a grade of 4.6 marked on its head, it is an SAE bolt with a 4.6 thread pitch. Technician B says that an SAE grade 2 bolt will have no slash markings on it. Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct. An SAE grade 2 bolt typically has no slash markings on its head. Technician A is incorrect because a bolt marked with 4.6 is a metric bolt, not an SAE bolt, and the numbers refer to its strength, not thread pitch.

Question 11

Weatherstripping is always attached with adhesives.

Accepted Answer

Weatherstripping can be attached using various methods including adhesives, nails, screws, and even magnetic strips, depending on the type of weatherstripping and where it is being applied.

Question 12

Self-tapping screws are used to hold sheet metal together.

Accepted Answer

Self-tapping screws have a threaded tip that allows them to cut into sheet metal and create their own thread, making them ideal for holding sheet metal together.

Question 13

Bolts come in both right-handed and ____________________ thread.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Bolts come in both right-handed and ____________________...

Question 14

To loosen a right-handed thread bolt, it should be turned to the left.

Accepted Answer

This is correct because right-handed thread bolts follow the standard convention of being tightened clockwise and loosened counterclockwise.

Question 15

A technician is removing a weatherstripping which has 34 plastic fasteners. 50% of the fasteners break during removal. The technician needs to purchase ____________________ fasteners. (How many?)

Accepted Answer

The answer of A technician is removing a weatherstripping which...

Question 16

Technician A says that the use of protective mechanics gloves is important when removing trim and is part of personal protective clothing of a repair technician. Technician B says safety glasses should be worn at all times when working in a collision repair shop. Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Both technicians are correct. It is important for a repair technician to wear protective mechanics gloves when removing trim to protect their hands from cuts and scratches. Safety glasses should also be worn at all times in a collision repair shop to protect the eyes from debris and potential hazards.

Question 17

Technician A says that "bagging and tagging" is a method commonly used to organize screws and hardware while the vehicle is being dismantled. Technician B says that most screws and hardware are replaced with new so one need not worry about the proper labeling and storing of removed parts Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B Only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Bagging and tagging is a common method used to organize screws and hardware while the vehicle is being dismantled so that they can be easily identified and reused if they are in good condition. Most screws and hardware are not replaced with new unless absolutely necessary, so proper labeling and storage of removed parts is important to ensure they are installed correctly during reassembly. Therefore, only Technician A is correct.

Question 18

An SAE grade 5 bolt will have ____________________ slash marks on its head.

Accepted Answer

The answer of An SAE grade 5 bolt will have...

Question 19
