"Replace" is ambiguous.  "Renew" is better.

The microfiche, not Bentley, is at fault.  The original German uses a mixture 
of 'ersetzen' and 'erneuern'.  If the translator was not a mechanic (a highly 
likely situation) he/she might have attempted to preserve this distinction.  
'Ersetzen' translates as the 'renew' meaning of replace - but in English 
'replace' is ambiguous and might just mean 'put it back in'. 

I'd like us to adopt 'renew' (erneuern) in our discussions - it's unambiguous.
