There is no real need to remove the top cover in advance.
You're right. I originally included the top cover disassembly because that's the order I use for a more complete disassembly but it's not necessary to get the front cover off. And thanks for your comments elsewhere in the guides. I mention on the main camera page that the guides are for the 23102 models (the mid/late models) but it's good to have more specific notes about where they differ from early models.
