Using the verb as a noun meaning the process or act of remanufacturing is a standard and readily interpretable conversion.
Etymology
Remanufacture comes from re- 'again' and manufacture 'to make', and here it names the process of 'making again'. So, a remanufacture is the work of restoring a used product to a like-new condition.
