I would put the engine in TDC for that bank and lock the cams before taking the cover off. None of the lobes should be under tension at that point... I think.
I take no responsability for this free suggestion.

Remember also to take the chain tensioners out after you have locked the engine to TDC and locked the cams in place.. After that you can remove the camcovers.
