I bought one a couple years ago.  To replace one without removing the
head, it was not too bad, but at $20 each, I'd hate to do mane more!

Yes and no.  You cannot change them with original ones
because they are like the old type 1 pushrod tubes.
You might be able to replace them with collapsible
tubes if someone makes them, but I have not seen any.
