The previous occupants built these stairs which also act as a retaining wall. They're starting to slip so I want to rebuild it.
I would love to rip the whole thing out but it's going to be tough to get a digger in there and I don't have the back to do it by hand. Am wondering if it's possible to rip up the steps themselves and rebuild just that part, leaving whatever is inside it intact?
Keen for any thoughts and ideas people might have.

Hi @dandydiyer,
I was delayed getting to this one... these days spending even more time snoozing during the day.
The view from my perch over here is that everything looks in pretty good shape - I see no major structural issues.
The top step is being pushed forward because that wall needs another sleeper.
I propose that creates the illusion that all the steps are being pushed forward.
The rest of the steps look ok but do need some alignment work.
When doing that (addinging another sleeper) line them up with the retaining wall on the right.
Dig out to drop those sleepers.
Cheers
