In general, if a part is a major pain to remove, I do everything I can to it
before putting it back in. In addition, I do everything I can to the area
that was uncovered by the part's removal.
More downtime at first, but may save downtime in the long run.
Note: This policy is subject to change depending on the project, bank
account, energy, etc.
