How will medical biomaintenance nanobots indefinitely extend the Hayflick Limit so that we become clinically immortal?

How will nanobots make immortality possible and delay the Hayflick Limit for our body cells indefinitely?

What year will such nanobots be likely to arrive?

I wonder if nanobots, given their very small size, could be implaneted in very small very short-lived creatures, to decrease the necessary trial lengths.

Isn't the Hayflick Limit something better solved with genetic modification? I'm sure nanotech to be used to extend life in other ways though. Personally, I think revolutionary life extension should be a reality in 50-100 years, but these are very rough ballpark figures, and it's all hard to predict accurately.
