AURVTN006 Remove and replace mechanical units during vehicle repair
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: April 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to remove and replace mechanical units and assemblies to facilitate vehicle body repair activities. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, removing and replacing mechanical units according to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) procedures and workplace procedures, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive body service and repair industry.
Assistance from licensed persons must be sought in relation to air conditioning, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or other alternative fuel systems and components.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the mechanical units and assemblies that they have removed and replaced during vehicle repair, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
OEM specifications for mechanical units
two different vehicles requiring the mechanical units specified in the performance evidence to be removed and replaced
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing and replacing mechanical units, including required PPE.
