Having done the job, I just don't see how that would be possible.

The chain needs to be wrapped around the sprocket inside the TC, so you basically have to assemble everything at once.

MAYBE, if you got the bottom of the TC off (I forget if that is possible without removing it), and you had one of those chain tools (connects and disconnects the chain at the link, forget the name), then you could feed the new chain up and around the sprocket, and reconnect it.

Easier to drop the TC....
