I have done that twice here in the states. The big deal for them is to make sure that you have a license and are on a valid drug testing program (frigging lawyers and liability) but both times not a problem.
An A&P with descent tools can do a lot and most of these repairs are not that difficult. As well most airlines keep "hot spares" ready to swap in when needed to keep the planes in the air.
You usually get very good drinks and chow on the flight once airborne...
