Yes several times on 3s and 4s, no “special” tools needed, a pair of long nose pliers and an extra pair of hands can make it easier, heater elements usually fail in the same place and can be easily repaired if you know how to use a soldering iron 
Probably the hardest part is screwing the front retaining torque screws back in after the element has been replaced, be doubly sure you use the correct size torque bit as the screws are very soft and strip easily turning a comparatively easy job into a nightmare It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
