I think from some minor specialists you can buy just the keys
and barrel that you fit in the rest of the lock:

Hope this helps,

To answer your original question, YES. If you clean the whole assembly you will find that there is a small pin (1/16 inch?) that retains the lock barrel. Drive this pin out (but don't lose it) then insert the key and withdraw the lock barrel. Refitting is a reversal, but lining up the spring that centres the barrel is a bit fiddly.

Alternatively, there is a much larger pin that retains the handle. Drive out the pin and remove the handle. Fit new handle to replace broken one and replace pin. Good luck.
