Volvo D5 Timing belt/ Cam belt Replacement - Crank Pulley left on can it be done?

In this video I replace the timing belt & Serpentine belt on my 2003 v70 2.4 D5 Volvo, I've tried to thoroughly cover the job and assess if the timing belt can be removed and replaced with the crank pulley still fitted as some Volvo forum uses have claimed it’s possible.

I fitted a Genuine Volvo Timing belt, Tensioner & Idler puller & a new Contitech timing belt
