Replacing spars??

Let me check my GPS, gee how'd we ever navigate w
I'll be replacing spars on one of my wings. I've built wings up from parts before, so I'm familiar with what to do. I'm just looking for any suggestions and the best way to go about replacing the spars on an assembled wing. Thanks
 
Tear it down and start over? Shouldn't take any longer and everything will be right where you want it.
 
Disconnect everything from the rear spar, slide it out, attach parts and then do the same thing for the front. Maybe easier than taking everything apart at once and then reassembling.

Thanks Steve, Kinda studied the situation with a friend of mine yesterday, and that's kinda what we came up with. Just will take time, which I have. Thanks.
