No problem. It may be possible to replace only the digitizer, but you'll have to be extremely careful removing the old one, and you'll have to carefully clean the edges of the faceplate without attempting to remove the LCD. I would recommend covering it with a piece of saran wrap or plastic during the process.

The digitizer and LCD aren't physically attached together, but they are both very solidly glued to the faceplate and require a lot of effort to remove. Mine did not come out too well



Also, on an additional note... the actual sensors for the front buttons are on a strip which is glued to the faceplate, but the physical buttons are on a plastic assembly that unscrews from the bottom with two small screws. So don't go trying to pry them off without unscrewing the buttons first.
