Reinstall Reporting Services

Does anyone know of a way to completely reinstall reporting services?
I tried to do it through the SQL Server 2005 install and at somepoint
it told me the only way to modify/reinstall an existing installation
for this component was to do it through Control Panel > Add/Remove
Programs. I tried that, it ran through it's setup, but didn't really
reinstall anything or give me any installation config options. I've
messed up my reporting services pretty good and would like to
completely uninstall then reinstall if possible.
Thanks,

Before uninstalling RS you should remove 2 RS components manually. Follow this
Launch Component Service MMC snap-in from Administrative Tools.
Navigate down to Components Services | Computers | <My Computer>| COM+
Applications, you fill find at least a pair of IIS application for RS &
Reports. You have to remove them, in order to do so you will ned to select
each applications properties dialog and Uncheck Diable deletion on the
Protection tab. This will delete them.
Thanks
