It takes a little finesse, but isn't terribly difficult to do. I tried using a super long needle nose pliers, but clearances under the runners were way to tight to actually make it useful.

I read that tutorial online too, was pretty helpful. Most of my tools are packed up and I didn't feel like trying to find some of them. Oh well, it can wait.
