Hi Chris,
You should be able to generate new CSR with existing certificate working
while you wait for new one.
If you for some reason can't do that, you can always create new virutal
website on your server and point it to new temporary directory. On this site
create a request for new certificate. Once you get the certificate back from
your certificate vendor process the request as usual on temporary site. Now
you have an option to assign this certificate to your old site with
practical no down time.
If you want you could do this whole process on completely separate computer.
Once you get new certificate, export it (with private key -- *.pfx) and
import it to your web server and assign it to your SSL protected web site.
I hope this helps...
