1. In another thread entitled "Wing Spar AD" (currently a few threads below this one), on the second page, second message, another member posted the Cessna procedure, including an alternate method requiring less disassembly.

2. Don't know what you mean by "+500".

5k wing ad

In the AD it says at 5000 hours and subsequently at 500 hours. Seems to me if I have to pull the wing skin every 500 hours it won't be long before I need new wing skin. So I'm wondering if the entire process has to be done at 500 hour intervals or just the eddy current test.

There are two tests. One is eddy current and one dye penetrant. To get there, however, you must either go through the disassembly process or the alternate process where you drill the first time a 0.625" hole to gain access. Read the posted procedure and it will be clear.
