How to use ReplaceAll on an expression that contains a rule












1












$begingroup$


I know I have seen this before but can't seem to locate it today.



I am trying to take an expression that has some rules in it and replace one of that parts that contain a rule using ReplaceAll



For a simple example consider:



testExpression = {"stuff", Axes -> {False, True}}

(* {"stuff", Axes -> {False, True}} *)


and I want to replace the



Axes -> {False, True}


with



Axes -> False


I have tried



testExpression /. 

 Hold[Axes -> {False, True}] -> Hold[Axes -> False]

(* {"stuff", Axes -> {False, True}} *)


as well as



testExpression /. 

 Hold[Rule[Axes , {False, True}]] -> Hold[Rule[Axes , False]]

(* {"stuff", Axes -> {False, True}} *)


I promise to add this to my set of notes if someone could kindly enlighten me.
