I didn't do my cam seals when I did my 2.2 timing belt (I should have, one is leaking now :mad: ), but couldn't you just leave whatever construct you used to keep the engine still to remove the crank pulley, in place and with the timing belt still on and tense, remove the nuts for the cam sprockets? Then to reinstall them, put the belt back on and put some tension on it, and retighten the nuts?

 

You probably could, but I wouldn't. To me it makes more sense to buy the proper tool for $25 and not risk damage to the timing components.
