Only problem with that method is you can't change seals/water pump etc.

But it's a nice way of putting on a new belt -- if you can slice the old belt in half width wise (going to be hard to get the razor all the way around, but worth a shot), giving you enough space to put the new belt on the gears so that when you cut the old belt in half length wise you can push the new belt all the way on all without ever having to reset the gears. Seems like it would save a lot of time if cutting the old belt in half doesn't take too long. And you don't have to worry about slipping a tooth when putting the new belt on.
