Yes. It's easy.
First unscrew anything you can unscrew from the left side of the hub. Then don't unscrew any nuts, washers, etc. from the right side; go straight to the ball cup. They make a special tool for this but most people use a hammer and punch (cold chisel is especially good). Try not to put the punch through your thigh, it's painful.
