I think the best example is Journey, and they've done it twice. Tabbing Steve Perry to take over for Greg Rollie was a brilliant move as it launched the band into the mainstream. The eventual Perry replacement, Steve Augeri, is a solid vocalist, and Jeff Scott Soto to replace Augeri was even better. Now, I have no idea who they'll get to replace Soto, but so far, their track record isn't too bad.
A few other good moves:
Motley Crue replacing Vince Neil with John Corabi
Iron Maiden replacing Paul Diano with Bruce Dickinson
Anthrax replacing Joey Belladonna with Jon Bush
