Absolutely!!

Frank changed  two and I changed  two........... We let it drain for 
about 15 minutes and there was plenty of oil left to foul up a couple of 
pairs of safty glasses.

If you drain the oil just before you crawl under to change the bearings 
at least wear saftey glasses and take a roll of paper towels under with you.

Also, take the plugs out and take it out of gear so you can turn the 
crankshaft while you are under the car.
