Sometimes it is quite easy with some well placed Regex S&R, other books are a disaster and require a lot of work.

When you get code that looks like that in the image, why would you keep it? (I had to stretch the window across my dual screens, hence the taskbar in the middle).

What on earth is the point of that??
I would find replacing the CSS with my own to be more work then fixing what's there. Yes, I do add in some CSS, but I would not replace it all. That's going to be a lot of work as I won't be seeing what the original CSS is try to do.
