The invention belongs to the technical field of methods for replacing rubber supports, and discloses a method for replacing a building shock insulation rubber support. The method is mainly technically characterized in that supporting force generated when temporary support bodies are arranged is the same as the design load of the building shock insulation rubber support, then the support is demounted, concrete on the top of a pier column is removed at the same time, a new shock insulation rubber support is jacked through force measurement jacks, the design load is reached, a pier top and pre-buried boards are connected, concrete is poured to the pier top and the pre-buried boards, and finally the temporary support bodies are demounted. By the adoption of the mode of combining column top descending with support jacking, space is provided for replacement of the support, stress evenness of supports for supporting a building is guaranteed, the situation that the structural stress changes due to the fact that one support does not bear force is avoided, needed jacking force of the jacks is small, replacement is quick and safe, and construction cost is low.
