When writing Technical manuals, we had a rule that "Replace" meant fit a new one, and "Refit" meant put the old one back in. We had this (and other similar rules) explained in the Foreword of every manual we produced, so if anyone cocked it up, we could point to the Foreword and say "RTFM" very loudly.
