I think what you're trying to do is either by design not provided or 
isn't advised anyway. RealURL has this nice feature that e. g. if you 
move a page to some other place in the tree, then it's still accessible 
by the same URL (search engines, users!), I think that can be found in 
the documentation.

Which means, you should use other means if you want to rename or 
replace, certainly no need to reinstall at all!
I usually just copy the page, deactivate the old one, give a new name to 
the just copied page; same for replacing, easy! Of course all that 
before you render the page the first time. Use  the alias if needed 
(which of course must be unique).

Note that once the page has been generated (FE), then the URL is set - 
it must be.
