Yes, but there's a gotcha. There is no problem in the display coming 
apart if its bezel is removed, or the keyboard falling to bits if you 
remove its bexel. But there are a couple of compression springs -- one 
for the display bezel and one for the keyboard bezel -- that electrically 
connect them to the metal plate on the back to form an elextrostatic screen.

If you remove either bezel you want to make sure you don't lose the 
spring. It might be easier (assuming you're happy working on devices 
containing CMOS chips) to remove the bottom cover first (there are 4 
screws under the feet), take out the 2 springs (they fit in holes in the 
top case moulding) then remvoe and re-stick the bezel. 

I'd use contact adhesive to stick it on, I think. The stuff you apply to 
each surface, let it dry, then press together. Keep it off the display 
itself!

And of course make sure you don't crease the bezel when taking it off. 
You will not remove such creases.
