It could happen, but very unlikely IMO.  I think you'll find that the stator
plate does not go back into position between the tip of the grub screw and
the steering wheel; with the result that the grub screws don't hold the
plate securely and hence the canceling mechanism doesn't work.

But I suppose there isn't a lot to lose by trying, so by all means have at
it.
