Cam/Timing Sprocket Replacement?

I didn't get any answers from the last post about codes so I'm not holding out much hope that there is anyone on this forum that's done more than swapping headers or injectors/tunes, but one last try. I am getting a p000a code for camshaft A slow to respond bank 1. My question is this. Since this is the intake cam on passenger side, would it be acceptable to only remove the right timing chain, keeping the engine in time and switch the intake sprocket? Provided that the camshaft A is the only affected part, ensure that it is set to it's proper timing marks, reinstall chain and ensuring that all timing marks are still aligned, seal it up and it will be good to go? This seems like an easier way to go rather than resetting entire timing set. Have yet to find any info on the procedure but I'm assuming there is a tool that will lock camshaft in place while performing this task however I don't seem to find any specific toolset for timing the FA20 in a BRZ/FR-S. Any help is greatly appreciated.
