- lifting the strut anchor via the anchor holding member to move the strut anchor out of engagement with the strut;
- urging an actuating member against a locking pin to move the locking pin out of a locked position;
- urging the second plate via the actuating member against the locking pin to slide downwardly with respect to the first plate, thereby causing the first and second plates of the strut anchor to move from the engagement configuration to a disengagement configuration;
