Yep, they make a single side viewfinder, but you'll loose the beam splitter for the video tap. Some people remove the meter if yours has one and put the tap here, but honestly the T bar is pretty straight forward to remove for a tech.

Sure, it’s very straightforward to change viewfinders. 

Are you asking if you can do it yourself?

Yes,  i find it how to do it, have a screw that you need to take out before screw the J bar. 

 

Thanks a lot

You don’t want to take any screw out, you need to loosen the outer lock nut half a turn, then use an Allen driver to turn the inside screw counter-clockwise. The inside screw is actually a worm gear that will slowly undo the lock ring holding on the viewfinder. 
To loosen the lock nut at the start, you need a two-prong screwdriver.
