Here is a few screenshots to show how to get there. I may, when I get another chance, add a few more shots showing the process to change the values for those who need to see every step.

The whole point of this with MRT is to replicate the procedure done here in this video by DFL - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKY1Nj2Uleo

Another question is: will this help in case of head swap?

I think the point of this procedure is to avoid a head swap. In most scenarios where a single head is weak or dead, I've been very successful with a head swap and reading the remaining surface at full speed. That said, I suppose it is possible that it might help with a set of donor heads too.
