Does this repair restore the original service life or do they have to replace these again after the same number of flight cycles?

I can hardly imagine that checking the pickle fork will not be incorporated in the C check. That would mean every 7,500 cycles or 730 days. |

Unfortunately, it's a quick fix (= a pickle fork replacement), which means that the new part has the same defects as the old one ... |

Limited life parts, to be exchanged at a certain interval, or an inspection regime. |

I cannot read the story. Can anybody summarize the information ? Does it seem to be a long and/or costly undertaking?

Thank you, bmw801 ! Given the number of aircraft concerned, the required retrofit may turn out be extremely costly.
