Is there a way to uninstall SQL Server but not uninstall the Tools and Components?

Do I need to uninstall SQL Server and then re-install the SQL Server Components and Tools?
 
I am using SQL Server 2005 - with Service Pack 3.
 
I believe all you have to do is run the install wizard and when it gives you the options of what you want installed, you will uncheck the Database portion. Then it will know to uninstall that.

Disclaimer: It's been a while since I've had to do that.
