What is the correct term for removing a damaged assembly, replacing the parts, and then reinstalling?

• A. Remove & Replace (R&R)
• B. Repair & Refit
• C. Rebuild & Install
• D. Remove & Reinstall

Answer: (A)

The key term describes swapping out a damaged assembly for a replacement rather than repairing the unit in place. Remove & Replace means you take the faulty part out, install a new or good-used replacement, and secure it back in service. This approach is used when the component is damaged beyond repair or when replacing is more practical or cost-effective than repairing.

This fits the scenario best because it explicitly covers the full cycle: remove the damaged assembly, replace it with a substitute, and reinstall. Other phrasing would imply repairing the existing part (Repair & Refit), rebuilding the unit from parts (Rebuild & Install), or simply removing and putting the same part back in (Remove & Reinstall) without actual replacement.
