They were taking the pylon off with the engine, rather than removing the engine from the pylon. Reattaching them involved impacts that the pylon wasn't designed to cope with, and caused cracking. AA weren't the only culprits, and were not the only ones fined for doing that. AA, Continental, and Braniff, I think. But American developed the practice, which Continental later adopted. \ Braniff never flew DC10's, and their 747 maintenance was largely contracted out (up til about 1980, they only had 1) It was AA, Continental, and United. I believe United used an overhead crane rather than a forklift which lessened the chance that the pylon could rotate.
