The embedded video is clearer than the official service manual, which is a little embarrassing for the manufacturer.

Should be the same procedure, the part moved slightly but the steps match.

Bookmarking. I have exactly this problem and was about to pay someone.

Question: do you need to disconnect power for this or is it safe to leave it plugged in?

Unplug it. Always. Takes two seconds and the worst case otherwise is a trip to the ER.
