Hi Colin it probably isn't worth removing it.
The 530 is easy to remove tho unplug the coaxial cable loosen the holding clamp and locking ring and it pulls straight out.
If you do I would block the hole up just in case your cover leaks ha ha
I've not heard of anyone having to remove the Status to fit their cover as yet, but if you do decide to remove it (easy enough), it should have been supplied with a blanking plug to seal the opening. See this here.
