Fasten jib halyard(s) and Spin halyard at the bow, and tension (reserve one halyard for hoisting duties, use the main halyard for getting up the mast). Go up the mast and drop the forestay. Assemble new furler to forestay. Haul new forestay / furler up and fasten at masthead, then fasten at bow.
I did essentially this, but with a new forestay.
