Flipping a Dual Shaft

I have 3 Nema23 steppers that I bought off of ebay to use for my OX build. These steppers are beasts, they are about 115mm long, about twice the ones they use in the OX video. My question is this, one side of the stepper, the side with the mounting holes is a 1/2" spindle, and the back side of this dual shaft stepper is 1/4".

Can I remove the metals covers from both ends, remove the spindle and put it back in place except have the 1/4" spindle size facing the mounting brackets.
