if that doesn't get you where you need to go, you might try: --with the new drive connected via USB --boot from the aforementioned live CD --create the partitions as you want them --pray a while... --copy all the files from each partition on the OLD drive into the matching partition on the NEW drive (using something akin to "cp -a /dev/sd<olddrive> </dev/sd<whatever-newdrive>").
I do not believe that cp -a will do the right thing with hard links. I think you want to use "rsync -a -H -A -X -S".
--install GRUB on the new drive --oh yeah, pray some more :) --swap new into the computer and see what you get.
It's going to be easier to swap the drive first, then boot off a live CD or an installation CD, let it mount the partitions on the hard drive, then drop to a rescue shell, then chroot /mnt/sysimage and then /sbin/grub2-install.
