dvd pot broke off

Since you have a good grasp of the dvd workings. I have a ps2 that the dvd adjustment screw broke off. I was wondering if these POT's are removable. I can purchase similiar pots. If not is there a way that i could hook the three legs on top of the ribbon? I know i do this at my own risk. I was just hoping u could save me some time from getting in there and checking for myself. I should have checked when I was seeing if i could replace my laser should the cd aspect of it quit working(but at the time I didn't think of replacing or repairing the DVD pot. Any information would be appreciated. I really don't need this to work but I like to tinker. hehe
