no, the crankshaft has to be removed to get to the bearings therefor removing the pullies, fan belts, timing belt, sump, main studs etc etc,

if you are considering upgrading internal bearings i recommend doing a total rebuild, eg - arp head studs and main studs, eagle rods, forged or billet items inc pistons, rods, bolts, bearings, boring if needed and nitriting the crank along with the block for strengthening,

no point in pulling a engine down just to change 2 bearings, may as well spend the time wisey and upgrade everything else at the same time.

more money yes, but a small price to pay for 4 times the power and 10 times the strength and reliability :-)

How do you replace the rod bearings for Chevy tohoe 1999?

If you are talking about the crankshaft rod bearings, you can just remove the oil pan, and replace each crank bearing one at a time without actually removing the pistons. But to replace the piston pin rod bearings the pistons will have to be removed. IMO, if any of these bearings are worn bad enough to need replacing, then the engine needs a complete overhaul.
