If I buy a Realforce EK All 45g and a Realforce 55g 10th anniversary silent. What do I need to do to have a Realforce 45g 10th anniversary ? And is it simple ?
Thanks for all the replies ;D

Those should give you some idea of what is involved.
Topre isn't hard to swap parts on just time consuming and there are lots and lots of screws. You also have to be sure to have everything aligned properly.
In case it isn't clear the weight comes from the dome sheets, the silent aspect comes from the sliders and the rings on them. Wasn't sure if you meant you wanted the resulting 45g board to be silent or not.

Then you just want to swap the 45g domes into the 55g board. Everything else can stay like it is. :D

I did it a while back, but yeah it's not hard just a little bit tedious and time consuming.
But like people said you'd want to swap the 45g dome and put it into the 10th anniversary case/sliders.
Good luck ! :)
