Not knowing how much rust repair is needed on your tubs, I would still look at repairing them instead of replacing them. When we replaced my son's Burb tubs we removed the floor to get access to the tubs and side walls. Even with the floor out of the way it was a chore to get the tubs out. In addition to the tubs being welded in at the lips of the wheel openings, there is a brace that is welded on top of the tub(s). It is a tight fit and the replaced tub has to be worked into place.

Here is a pic of the Burb with the floor out and the tubs removed.
