Replace worn, damaged, or defective mechanical parts.

Detailed work activity

Replace worn, damaged, or defective mechanical parts. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 28 occupations and seen in 37 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Repair tools or equipment. in Repairing and Maintaining Mechanical Equipment .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 37 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 0 (0%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

Exposure quadrant: AI task-overlap percentile vs Median pay AI task-overlap (horizontal) versus median pay (vertical), each as a percentile across all scored occupations, for 28 occupations in occupations that perform Replace worn, damaged, or defective mechanical parts.. Overlap measures shared tasks with AI, not automation. Lower overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · lower pay Lower overlap · lower pay Automotive Glass Installers and Repairers Rail Car Repairers Locksmiths and Safe Repairers Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists Motorboat Mechanics and Service Technicians Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters Signal and Track Switch Repairers Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians Musical Instrument Repairers and Tuners Control and Valve Installers and Repairers, Except Mechanical Door Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers AI task-overlap percentile → ↑ Median pay
