Yes to your last question.  Just get a rescue disk/CD, boot from it,
make sure your device is unmounted, and run:

% tune2fs -j /path/to/device

I actually use the SuerRescue CD set:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/dist/superrescue/
2.1.0 is based on RH 7.2

But perhaps you'd like to look into a debian based CD distribution:
http://rescuecd.sourceforge.net/
