First, I`d suggest just taking out the plug at the intake cam. The plug is not reusable if you remove it so you will need a new one but it`s cheap. If you want to remove the cover, you will need to lock the camshafts and hold them down using a tool, otherwise you may damage the camshafts or the bearings. There`s a good tutorial about this in Wayne`s book, available online on Pelican`s website for free.
