Yes you can.  That should be pretty easy.  There is a sort of complex
measurement in Bentley that determines the thickness of the shim(s) that go
between the 2, on the shaft.  You may end up needing a different
shim.  Otherwise, should be pretty easy.  Might as well do some gaskets
while you have it out and apart.

I got my rebuild kit from bulkpart.  I guess it is for multiple vehicles
because I had many parts that were not used.  Really, I bet I used less
than half of what came in the kit.  And be warned, it is just a bunch of
parts mixed up in no particular order, with no instructions or anything.
