Run this command to list your currently installed packages: rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
Then for each package listed, run: rpm -e PACKAGE_NAME This "rpm -e" will remove your MySQL package. There should be separate packages for MySQL: server, client, shared libraries, etc. Remove all of them that are related to your 4.1 installation. Your datafiles and my.cnf files SHOULD not be removed when you run "rpm -e", but you could move them to another directory to make sure that they won't be deleted. After that, just install your 4.0 RPMs and move your datafiles to the original directory.
