Glad to see the picture worked for some. It didn't appear on the post or my e-mail. Bob, thanks for putting the picture up, hopefully it'll bring a few smiles.
As for removing the pulley, I've modified my lower cambelt cover, the bit with the timing marks on it, so that I can remove that without taking the pulley off. With the cover out of the way the cambelt can be edged out past the pulley. The fanbelt still has to be removed though. The modification basically involves cutting the cover from top to bottom with a bit of a zig-zag. One bolt holds each half in place when the cover is fitted. It's still fiddly to get the cover past the water pump sprocket but it beats lowering the engine. In addition to changing the gasket and cambelt, I've also decided to replace the camshaft, I know it's worn because I measured it a couple of years ago and it was pretty much at its limit then. So now I have head gasket, cambelt, camshaft, hydraulic lifters and valve stem oil seals to do, the extras come in the kits so they're going to be used. I decided to avoid E-bay for these and have ordered the lot from my local Exhausts Unlimited as I use them quite a bit. The total is just a smidge under £200 with the VAT and, hopefully, it'll be good for another 180,000 miles!
