I just replaced one this week. I improvised for removal of the wing using a pliers. I was not worried about damaging the old part. The lifting strut unlocks by turning counter clock wise. On installation of the new lifting mechanism, I made a hook tool to relock the wing. FYI, I ordered the proper tool (about $90 bucks) for the next time. Good luck. I hope this was some what helpful.
