You first have to unsnap the cover locks at the end of the rods . These are nylon, and are a bitch. Sometimes you can pop them with a long flat blade screwdriver.

They are super easy to pop off... flat headed screw driver.. longer the better.. but yeah. shouldn't be a problem if you aren't completely weak.

Us 70 + year old weaklings sometimes have to use a crowbar. Don't knock the thing you will be, if your lucky.

Use your fingers. You might break the plastic.
