cannot delete publication

We are using SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 on WIn2003.
We lost our distributor and I reinstall SQL Server in Distributor machine.
Now I am not able to delete publication and subscription from publisher and
subscriber.
Any help highly appreciated.
tried
sp_removedbreplication
Msg 3724, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_MSdrop_peertopeer_tables, Line 27
Cannot drop the table 'dbo.MSpeer_lsns' because it is being used for
replication.
Thanks
Or I get following error
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "repl_distributor" returned
message "Communication link failure".
Msg 233, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
Named Pipes Provider: No process is on the other end of the pipe.
