If it can be removed like that after you install the large Timign chain Tensioner Rail just don't put the Tensioner on till the New Chain is installed.

Question for anyone about if it is really needed to replace the 2 lower Timing Chain Rails; see diagram?
If I remember correctly you'd have to remove the tensioner and the camshaft cog to get the largest rail out. The bottom ones on the right of your picture require removal of the timing device (and vacuum pump of course) and I think it is prudent to remove the sump too to catch / find anything you might drop whilst doing the job!
