Revision H lists it as:

Repair:  The act of restoring the functional capacity of a defective 
article.  In common usage, repair may restore the hardware to compliance 
with applicable drawing or specifications. In stingent [military] usage, 
rework is in compliance whereas repair restores functionality without 
being in compliance.

Rework:  The act of reprocessing noncomplying articles, through the use of 
original or alternate equivalent processing, in a manner that assures 
compliance of the article with applicable drawings or specifications.
