Change IP address of FMC HA standby node

I have a pair of FMCs in HA with a few devices registered and failover is working as expected.  I need to change the ip address of the standby unit so had some questions:

 

1.) To re-establish HA, do I need to break HA on both devices (at the moment they're isolated from each other), then re-establish HA from the primary to the standby?

2.) For the managed devices, will they all get the new ip assignment on the next deployment?

I'll be working on this today.  Should I expect any service interruption when breaking the HA cluster since it's only the FMC HA changing, and not the actual unit configuration?  I expect I might have to redeploy to the FTDs so they're made aware of the removal and addition of the new standby unit?  But wanted to confirm if I need to do this during a maintenance window or if mid-day shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for the link.  The FTDs are staying in place as is, and the primary FMC is currently speaking to all of them.  I need to change the ip of the standby FMC so i was planning to break the HA on both FMC, then change the ip on the standby unit, then reboot the standby FMC and then re-setup the HA between the 2.
