This isn't my idea, but I ran across it last night, it helped me, I haven't seen it mentioned often so I thought I'd share a picture.
It is held on by five 7mm screws. 1/4" drive 7mm socket with some extensions works well, and a 7mm open end wrench. They all unscrew easily. Unplug the two electrical connections. Takes 10 min or less to remove and then access to the #8 plug hole is as easy as the front plugs.
To help not drop screws when reinstalling, taping the screw to the socket helped.
Thanks to WeGone for this tip (and he said it was from a Killebrew class).
The last picture shows a tie wrap taped to the socket because my magnet was too weak to pull it out of the hole (before I removed the panel, when I was using the dual universals).
The extra access was useful because I wanted to run a thread chaser through the #8 plug hole.
