Can I replace these deck railing posts?

The current posts are 48" tall - I'm looking to go with 8 ft or 10 ft -- and are secured on top of the joists. This would be my first major project, though I do have access to friends with more experience and skills than I do. I've included pictures of the top and underside of one of the posts I want to replace. Can I do this without disassembling the whole deck? What alternatives/workarounds would you suggest if not? submitted by /u/Unusual_Cranberry_97 [link] [comments]
