Some talk of confidence that RSU1 will go into RSU3's position without a problem.
Adding content from the SSP FRR presentations on L2:

Forgive my ignorance, but how critical to Hubble's mission are these 3 RSU's?
What are the ramifications, if God forbid, they can only get two of them installed?

Already mentioned on the thread and in the article, it's prority number 1 of 11. They have two of them installed now.
One more to go.

HST can operate on 2 of 6 gyroscopes (however, they prefer to use 3). Each of the three RSUs holds 2. However, they do fail so the more they have the longer they can go with operating units.

Now if they could make RSU 1 fit in the space for 3 then all is golden.

I think they have the option of a spare in the COPE
edit: PAO says this is older design so not preferred option.

*Nods*
Wouldn't be a shuttle mission without some EVA excitement
Mass leaving his position in Hubble as they go back to the task in hand of R&Ring the final RSU. Hoping RSU3 will fit into RSU1's position. There is an old unit if that fails, but they would obviously prefer to successfully install the new RSU.

MCC-H would prefer not to head to the COPE for the spare, they really want to get the new RSU in the alternate position.
