If you have a coupler such as the Fulton Fast-Lok Coupler # F346000301 or something similar then there is access to the fasteners that hold the latch to the rest of the coupler from underneath. Remove the nut from underneath and take note of how all the parts go together. Reverse the order when ready to reassemble the latch.
