In the interest of continuity, it would have been bette to carry on and include your question in your other thread you have on your ongoing starting issues.
In answering you question "without damaging anything" you can't, the cover there is to provide some means of security therefore you'll have to damage the cover to remove it.
Removeing the cover has been done before to the satisfaction of those who have done it, so there are already posts on the subject plus what is involved, not that I understood it as I don't have a Diesel... but they are there.
