Never done it but this guy took his out on a 2012. Now if you have to take the case off then that may be a different story.

yes
first step is get a service manual

the HD tranny gearset will slide out the right side of the case once the clutch, primary etc are removed.

if the case needs to come out ( like it is cracked) then it;s a bigger job.

but servicing/replacing the gears and shifting mechanism is not hard

this would be the time to look at a 6 speed gearset

Baker drivetrain or Jims are the premium names - avoid imported stuff

do not ever use air impact tools on the clutch hub not ( left hand thread) as it can destroy the shifting mechanism in the tranny
don;t use air impacts on the compensator nut- can destroy the stator
