Yes; desolder the LED, then it & the switch cap will come off, then the
switch itself can be desoldered & removed. Take care in handling the
switch caps -- once the plastic breaks, they're difficult to repair (&
impossible to replace, as far as I know).
I've obtained suitable replacement tact switches from Mouser Electronics &
Jameco -- they're fairly standard.
This is a fairly routine task for someone with soldering & electronics
experience -- should be VERY carefully approached by anyone else.
