No 
Though the extent of dismantling depends on what needs changing. Ring and rod assembly ? Or skirt/wafer ?

No idea, they just feel pretty weak

You mean the coils are weak ?
Check underneath and see if any loose/broken/missing parts. The nuts that secure the rods can sometimes be missing. Or the metal or fibre yoke broken . Check it all moves freely by hand . Above playfield check the rods haven't sheared off the ring.
This might be useful too

Pops aren't to bad to do Jonathan get stuck in once you've done 1 you will be fine
You should be able to do it all from underneath unless the skirt needs changing, like Ivan has said check rods and both yokes as well as switches and all cables are in good contact with each coil.
Shouldn't be to difficult to sort out.

The metal armature link may be broken you can access this from under the playfield. Also clean the contacts on the leaf switch with a business card and reset gaps.
