I'm sure that it can be done in theory, but if you have a bad rod bearing you might have bigger issues to deal with.

Without having done it on a V90, the typical steps are:
Remove the oil pan
Turn the crank so the bad journal is down
Remove the rod bolts and cap
Push the piston up a little
Replace the bearings
Check the clearance
Oil the new bearing
Reassemble and refill oil

It would be an enormous pain in the butt to do this laying on your back in your driveway.
