Anyone know the best way to remove and replace either the upstairs or
downstairs newel post without hacking and butchering the staircase,
which I want to retain?


If at all possible, keep the bottom foot of so of the old newel post which
is firmly attached to the staircase. Cut it off at the appropriate level,
bevel the top, and fit a new upper section. You'll find lots of good
information and "How to" guides on the Richard Burbidge site at
http://www.richardburbidge.co.uk/main.asp?page=270

Burbidge also do a video which most sheds sell for about a fiver which shows
you how to renew newels and bannisters etc. Well worth the money - and
refundable if you buy your kit from them.
