Without question, a ring gear can be swapped.
You will need to heat the gear. Do your best to do so evenly and try not to get it any hotter than necessary. You will be surprised at how little heat it takes to expand and subsequently remove that ring.
Installation is just the opposite of removal of course. I might suggest you have the "new" flywheel prepared and in close proximately to the "old" flywheel.
You may be fortunate enough to remove it from the old and place it directly upon the "new". If not, no worry... simply apply that heat again, Remember, apply the heat evenly and as little as necessary.
