W126-center vent pod diaphragm replacement

For those that have done the job on a w126, is it possible to replace the diaphragm on the center vent pod without removing the pod from its installed location?

thx for the responses. No one has responded to my question directly, but I take carson357 response as a yes. I think the hard part really is how to get to the center vent pod, let alone how to reamove and re-install it after replacing the diaphragm.
