(b) The inspections of the nose landing gear free fall mechanism required by paragraph (a) of this AD may be terminated upon the replacement of the Dupont Vespel bushings in the free fall cam mechanism with British Aircraft Corporation bushing P/N AB44-1875 or AB44- 1943 (2 per airplane) and bushing P/N AB44- 1879 or AB44-1945 (1 per airplane).
