*if* you do in fact have "rod knock" (and having said knock when the engine is warm but not when it is hot is strange - sounds more like oil starvation than loose bearings - I'd have done an oil pressure test first, but then the next step is removing the pan to see if the pickup screen is clear) you can certainly replace the bearings from below with the engine in place ... IF the journals are not damaged or worn. It's not an "in the book" procedure because of course you can't pull the crank - you'd have to turn it to close to BDC on the offending piston, unbolt the rod cap, push the piston back up, worry the parts out and back together, etc. But there's no physical reason why you can't. Of course, you will plasticgauge the rod and mains first.
