Sure, it can be done.  You have to remove the tailpiece from the 2 locks,
then the plugs will slide out the front.  You'll need a 3/64" drift to
remove the roll pin from the tailpiece.  You'll need to exchange the wafers
from yours to the new one, making sure a tumbler spring stays in place under
each wafer.  I'd clean them both with carburetor cleaner before removing
wafers.  After all wafers are in place, lube with teflon grease, re-insert
in handle, mount spring, and re-attach tailpiece with roll pin.
