Cleanup replication and setup again after name change on server

Question

on our named Instance

I stopped ms replication, then we renamed  the named server instance.   

i tried my best to clean up replication an uninstall so I could set it back up again.

but now i get the following errors

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is unable to access replication components because replication is not installed on this instance of SQL Server. For information about installing replication, see the topic Installing Replication in SQL Server Books Online. (New Subscription Wizard)

and

SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other ()

 i did the following

 select @@ Servername   it returned the name ok    PIB-SQLMSC01\whstest901

select convert (char(25), serverproperty('servername')); PIB-SQLMSC01\whstest901

sp_helpdistributor     was all null

SP_ removedbreplication    runs

sp_dropdistributor  say distrib is not installed

Answer 1

I also though i could try to re install the replication feature  but its grayed out and i cannot re add it,  not sure how too get it deleted.
