Cam chain tensioner?

Is it possible to remove the rear cam chain tensioner without removing the cylinder head?
I get the impression it is, based on the comments here.
Suzuki says no in the workshop manual. So I suppose they are correct?

Yes the rear guide can be replaced w/out removing the head.
You might need to remove the head cover and cam though.
I did try it and was able to do it. I think I had to take the gear off the cam and remove the gear off the bottom. Then you can feed the tensioner guide up from the bottom. There's a ridge where the head starts and that may give you problems. just keep wigglin'.

Thanks for the reply Verslagen,
I figured if anybody knew it would be you.

I had the silly idea that it was possible to remove it downward with the clutch cover removed

clutch cover, clutch and probably cam chain gear.
don't even think about feeding it from the top.

I've seen times when tying a cord onto something before I pulled it helped me get the new one in.
