Replacement components are new and usually will not be cleaned and inspected.

Preservatives must be removed from long-term stored components.

Replacement components will be installed,

3. Defective components will be discarded or sent to a higher maintenance level. Components

sent to depot maintenance must have a completed DA FORM 2407.

T h e new part will be identified as " n e w " in the install section. It will also be listed

under "Materials/Parts" at the beginning of the task.

Replace Task Used for Access

Most REPLACE tasks can also be used for access to another part. In this case, the original part is

removed and then installed later. REPLACE tasks that can also be used for access will be identified

by a box around the title in the TASK INDEX. (You will find a TASK INDEX at the beginning of each

task section. ) The following comments apply to a Replace task used as an access task:
