I think it is... I didn't actually pull it all the way out when I took it out, I just wanted the pro to do it because I've never done this before. Although having to come out of the pocket with $180 makes me want to learn how to do all this without having to pay someone. Like when my ball joints went bad they wanted $600 to replace them, I bought the tools and learned to do it myself for only $300.
Why do you ask? Do I run the risk of flexing too much and it stretches out and apart? Hmm, I'll look in the morning.
