Bathtub replacement question

CMAC's toilet thread made me think of a problem I'll confront someday. I have a rental property on which the tub drain area had a section of cast iron broken off when I purchased the property. It had been repaired with plumber's putty but I have since done a more permanent repair with epoxy. However, one of these days, I;ll have to replace it. It is tight against one wall with a partition built at the other end to create an enclosure. The toilet is about 8 inches from the tub at one end. Has anyone removed and replaced a tub in this kind of configuration without having to tear out the partition wall? Will the tub tilt up for replacement? I know I'll have the remove the drywall around the tub but it is in need of replacement anyway. If it won't come out easily, I'll consider an acrylic tub liner.
