Crankshaft removal?

Dumb question can you or how hard would it be to remove the crank with the engine still in the car? Found the timing issue and that is the crank sprocket sheared off the dowel pin thus spinning the sprocket.

you would have to drop the tranny if you were to do it that way it would be easier just to drop the engine instead I’ve been able to take it out in less than 2 hours before so it’s not that hard
