DIY for rear spoiler removal

I am finally getting my Misha GT2 wing painted, and just bought the spoiller spanner wrench off of ebay. Does anyone have the DIY for the spoiler blade replacement? Thanks.

No brainer. Lift the spoiler and use the tool to turn the actuators (there is a small hole in the actuators) and the spoiler comes right off. Do the reverse to install the new one.

So with the wrench, I just turn the actuators and it just releases the blade? On the GT2 blade where the actuators go in, it looks like there is a metal bar in the hole where the actuator kind of locks onto. I assume that is the attachment point.
Also when I turn the actuator to reattach the new blade, do I just turn the actuator til it just stops turning and feels like it is locked in?
