yes you can mate, not hard to do.

I undid the bolt on mine. unscrewed the bolt about three or four threads and hit with rubber mallet. repeated until the shaft came out the head of the stem.

got it reanno'd and then used the bolt to pull the shaft back in just by tightening it. held the shaft in a vice so I could ensure the head was straight and use both hands on the ring spanner.

I thought the tiger looking to the right are ok to unscrew but the tiger looking to the left with a neck and a chain are a different story. Can anyone elaborate on this?

NFI but if it's held in with a bolt I would guess it will undo; you may need to give it some gbh or use a press (which I did) to get the shaft out but it should come out.  When you put it back together put aome tape on the topcap around the bolt (not under, but around) to avoid marking up your shiney new anno  :daumenhoch:.
