As far as I understand it, you really can't (someone correct me if I'm wrong). WHM/cPanel are so tightly integrated with the operation of your web services, you can't install one without completely breaking the other.  
You have to start with a clean slate.

You can't put an entirely new engine (Sentora) in your car (your server) without taking the other one (WHM/cPanel) out...

I can't help it Smile
One of my longest employment gigs was front line and higher level support for a web hosting company whose largest/primary customer base was VERY untechnical business owner types. I got very good at translating "all that technobabble geek crap" in to plain English ("don't talk military to the civilians, aroaminggeek, mmkay?") and it's just stuck with me!
