Removing the rails is easy, just remove the ball return first, and the rails can be removed by removal of the bolts underneath. The pockets need to be removed as well. Be sure to check the marks on the rails as they are removed, each is numbered and must be returned tot he same location on re-assembly.
To remove the old felt, all the brads and staples must be pulled. Then the cloth can slowly be pulled upward to release the feather strip. If you are not used to covering the rails, new feather strips should be purchased - these are very cheap.
If the rubbers need to be replaced, the old ones need to be pulled off while using a razor for clea removal. Clean the surface well before cementing the new rubber in place. this should be done in a fixture or straightedge used to be sure this is perfectly straight - any error in applying the rubber ruins the pool table for proper play. The razor or hobby knife is used to cut the proper angles, using the old rubber as a template. Let the cement dry as per instructions.
Cut the cloth using a template to get the rail and surface pieces with the least waste.
Place the rail fabric upside down on the rail, with less than one inch from the deather strip towards the rubber. Insert the new feather strip, starting in the center, being very careful to keep the fabric grain straight along the strip. Trim the feather strip ends, then trim the excess exposed felt. Pull the felt over the rubber, laying the rail over. Starting in the center, pull the felt taut over the rubber. This should be very taut but not so tight that the rubber gets compressed. Secure the center. Work from the center to each end pulling taut and making sure the grain remains straight. At the ends, the felt must be carefully cut to provide a miter. The strip side must be tightly on top of the table side, with a folded seam exactly along the edge of the mitered corner. Secure the edges. The corner pockets are simpler and more forgiving, the side pocket may take several tries to get the fold properly done. When complete, trim all excess felt.
Replace the rails, pockets, and ball return in the opposite order they were removed. It is very important that each rail be reinstalled in the same location or the table will no longer be square.

For the two-piece RIS, you simply pop off the standard heat shields, and replace them with the RIS. The KAC system has an allen screw which will need to be loosened prior to installation and tightened afterwards to secure them. The single piece free float rails are a different matter.
How do you change rails on a pool table?
The rails should never be changed on a pool table as each is marked and perfectly squared at the factory for its position on the pool table it was made for. However, the rails can be removed to replace the rubber and to re-felt. It is important that each rail be re-installed in the same location that it was removed from. The rails are secured with large screws or bolts and can be removed easily.
How do you remove a rear bumper to a 2002 dodge Dakota?
It's pretty simple, just disconnect the wiring to the license plate light, and disconnect any wiring harness routing clips from the bumper. Then you remove the 3 bolts from each side that hold the bumper to the frame rails. I would estimate that it's about a 30 minute job if you're mechanically inclined. If you find that the nuts are too rusted to remove, spend $5-10 on a nut splitter (every mechanic should own one anyways) and replace the nuts and bolts later. After removing the nuts and before removing the bolts, you may wish to have a friend help you support and remove the bumper.

The radiator support on a 91 Accord is a welded on part. Removal requires removing the bumper, headlamps, and fenders. Once these parts are out of the way you must drill out the spot welds that hold it to the frame rails and apron. The new piece must them be fitted and welded in place. On a 91 Accord (and nearly every other honda) the radiator support is a structural piece and should be replaced under the supervision of a trained profesional.
