Yes it can be done there is a torx screw locked with a nut on the top of the ST box make sure the steering wheel is absolutely in the Straight ahead Position do not under any circumstances have the engine running while adjusting undo the nut whilst holding the torx screw and gently with not much more than the weight of yr fingers move the wrench ie tighten those allen key types are the best it wont move much and retighten and check by going for run  if you inadvertantly tighten too much yu will feel a definite drag on the steering wheel so it must be backed of but trial and error will soon get it right BUT DONT tighten too much
