Used a pick to open the lock covers to the first peg. Then use the pick to unlock the cover completely and remove. Using the vw tool put it in and try to keep the points vertical. I had to press really hard, like plastic and metal grinding hard. While pressing with the tool, pull down on the handle gently and that side should pop free. Repeat on the other side.
When reinstalling, make sure the lock covers are open to the first peg. Insert the spacers and press. The handle should snap in and close the lock covers.
I'll post up the erwin steps in a bit.
