I've done it a few times. Make sure you do a crank relearn when you get it going.

HOGWASH!!!! He would have thrown code P1336, and the vehicle would still start and run, however firing one bank then the other, instead of the correct timing order.

Disconnecting the battery will NOT cause a crank sensor re learn, disconnecting the battery with the key left in the on position will.
