This leaves an ugly hole about a foot deep and very wide.
What I want in the same location is an 8" wide hole 18" deep, to take
the new post and the concrete around it.

Do they *have* to be in the same location? As in, couldn't you site
the first post a couple of feet back along the fence... that way all
the new posts would be offset against the positions of the old ones,
which you wouldn't need to remove, just chop them flush with the
ground[1]

Very often fences are not exact multiples of panels e.g. 4.5 panels. If you
shift the half panel from one end of the fence to the other the fence line
remains the same but the new posts are 3' away from the old ones.
