Backpacker,
Transport Canada "Elementary Work" says that the pilot may (without requiring a mechanic):
(20) removal and replacement of co-pilot control levers, wheels, pedals and pedal guard plates that are designed for rapid removal and replacement, on other than transport category aircraft;
It is convenient for me that both my aircraft are so arranged, as many aircraft are not (for example Cessna182 and 206, which are darn near impossible to remove either controls).
It's worth a look through your national regulations to understand pilot privileges. It is "elementary work": which allows pilots to do other simple tasks, like changing oil and spark plugs to mention just a few.
