There is a more recent version of the instructions (Feb 25 issue?) that addresses the application of the sealant on the timing cover. It shows exactly where to apply the sealant to not block the holes. This one only speaks to clean up of the old which is only one of the two possible failure modes.

This is the one. No date on it though

The fb has room to compress the springs and remove the rockers. No removing the cams, so no removing the front cover to get the chain off.
Mercedes treats us well in that sense, cams come out with the front cover on. Several of the engines can have a timing chain replaced with just one cylinder head cover off.
