I have 2 web services with about 6 web methods in total, most of the code is ofc sitting in assemblies any way, and the web service asmx is really just calling these assembly methods and returning their return type.
How much effort is it to convert the web services from ASMX to WCF?
I pretty much at this stage control the only - non web based clients connecting to the web services, so this is not really a problem, product is in prelaunch.

5) The purpose of ASMX services is to send and receive data using SOAP over HTTP protocol. However, WCF services can send and receive data using any format over different protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, MSMQ etc.
If you can work with WCF then yes the ASMX services are obsolete because the WCF can fully replace them with more performance and flexibility (multiple binding), functionality.
Check out some of those blog posts and articles on how to do it:
and many more - search for "Migration ASMX to WCF" and you'll get a ton of hits
