I was myself afraid of oils but found out that solenoid type (one layer lengthwise) are in fact very simple and easy to rewind.
It is likely those coils are this type. If yes, give it a try, it is a 20 minute job.
Those that wound radially, mening many turns over short length, multilayer, those are worse, and will require some fixture, or at least some cardboard bobbin ends, and myself I did not do that fancy criss-cross pattern, but it worked too.
