Possibly but you have to remove the stator tube/control head to get to it.
With this out you should be able to access the "guts" of the control head,
lots of little parts - a bit like watch repair. But you might as well as you
have to do this to replace it anyway.
What's involved in removing it? If I want to replace the steering wheel at
the same time, do I need a wheel puller for that? I have never taken off
either one.
Disconnect the wires from the c-head harness, loosen the stator tube nut in
the front of the steering box, and undo the 3 grub screws in the side of the
steering wheel. The thing should pull out of the steering wheel. Carefully!!
And since it's about 5 ft long a helper is a real good idea. Steering wheel
doesn't have to come off but you have to take out the c-head to remove the
wheel. If you want to replace the steering wheel do it then. Your arms should
be all the puller you need, once you remove the nut holding the wheel on!
