This would of course require a saw setup.

Removing the gun shortens the neck. If you just inserted a new gun in the shortened neck, the distance from the gun to the face of the tube would be shorter and that would not be acceptable.
There is no way to remove a gun without shortening the neck somewhat.
View the video I authored about how picture tubes are rebuilt.
