Kim:

You should recognize that ReplaceAll (/.) will work with the names of
Mathematica functions (in your case, Rule (->) and Equal (==) ), but
doesn't seem to work with their multi-character alias strings, even
when these are enclosed in quotes ("->" and "==").

Perhaps someone can tell us why quoted symbol strings won't work when
substituted for their associated function names.

Using your posted equations, we have ...

In[1]:= {G[0] -> 4*(5 - 2*Sqrt[6]), tfC[0] -> 2*(5 - 2*Sqrt[6]), C[0]
	-> 3 - Sqrt[6], tf[0] -> 3 - Sqrt[6]} /. Rule -> Equal

Out[1]= {G[0] == 4 (5 - 2 Sqrt[6]), tfC[0] == 2 (5 - 2 Sqrt[6]), C[0]
	== 3 - Sqrt[6], tf[0] == 3 - Sqrt[6]}

In[2]:= {G[0] -> 4*(5 - 2*Sqrt[6]), tfC[0] -> 2*(5 - 2*Sqrt[6]), C[0]
	-> 3 - Sqrt[6], tf[0] -> 3 - Sqrt[6]} /. "->" -> "=="

Out[2]= {G[0] -> 4 (5 - 2 Sqrt[6]), tfC[0] -> 2 (5 - 2 Sqrt[6]), C[0]
	-> 3 - Sqrt[6], tf[0] -> 3 - Sqrt[6]}
