Rotten Fence post replacement

Two fence posts are broken at the ground and bowing out (they were leaning into the yard, but my over the winter buttressing of them pushed them out). Curious if this plan seems like a good one:

1- push the rotten posts out to be able to remove (and hopefully salvage/reuse) the three fence panels attached to the posts.

2- dig up the concrete and remaining post- making holes large enough to settle new pressure treated posts.

3 - reattach the fence panels (with many friends supporting) by leaning the post far out and then pulling to level. Use concrete to stabilize.

A handyman came by and said the whole fence needed to come down to repair- I’m hoping to avoid that but not sure if I’m missing an important logisitical point here. Appreciate any thoughts!
