If you were to take the chain or belt off, you'd have to be very carefully when reassembling things to make sure the timing lines up the same way as it did initially.

Another option is to use a wide belt. You could then use two narrow pulleys with a spacer between them, teeth aligned of course, or use a wide pulley and cut a groove with a lathe down the center.
