Theoretically, it is possible to replace the connecting rod bearings and crankshaft bearings while the engine is still installed, but this doesn't make much sense because the transmission needs to be removed to get the crankshaft out, and at that point, the engine is almost out anyway! Besides, all the parts are more accessible then, and the timing belt needs to be removed anyway. So, it's better to just remove the entire engine!
Best regards, Daniel.
