I have seen on You Tube there is a way to pop out the center stem and ball. I would assume after doing so, it could be put back together.
There would be about 2 to 2 1/2 gallons head space when you put the beer inside, so I am not sure how well it will carbonate. Maybe one of the more experienced guys could answer that.
On a 5 gallon batch you would need about 3/4 cup of priming sugar.
