Not sure what you mean by "repeatedly replace one of [the rules]". After all, if you have a list of rules with repeats, e.g., myrules = {a -> b, c -> d, e -> f, c -> d}; then you could get rid of the repeats by using, say, Union: simplerules = Union@myrules {a->b,c->d,e->f} So your problem really seems to be to replace _one_ of the rules. And then replace that one rule just as you'd replace anything, e.g.: simplerules/.(c->d)->(c->wow) {a->b,c->wow,e->f} Or is your problem something else?
