Need help with CPU cooler! Probably has an easy answer :P

Solution
If you mean the entire cooler, yes. but I wouldn't advise it. Once removed, the thermal paste will develop microscopic air bubbles that will retard cooling. If you absolutely must, re-spread the thermal paste on both surfaces to dissipate any air bubbles before re-installing the cooler. But it may not cool as good as previously.
