If you remove the pulley, the gear stays attached to the crank with the big bolt.

Granted it's gonna be tight, but you can then swap a new belt on without the front bumper coming off or having to re-torque the crank bolt.
EDIT
And those four bolts may snap of course, but theoretically this is possible. |
Afraid not, not on the I5 as if you look at the drawing the Big bolt goes through both the vibration damper AND the pulley. So the 4 small bolts are just used to locate the pulley to the damper and the big bolt used to attached the damper and pulley to the crank. Its a pain but it has to come off I'm afraid
