Rear door lock help needed

I'm trying to change the rear gate lock actuator on a 2000 explorer.
I have it out of the bracket, but how do I unhook the linkage?
I saw a video showed how to do the first part that seemed easy enough but they didn't show the second part.
I'm sure it's something simple that I am over looking

Do I have to bend the hook?

Any guidance appreciated.
