Most holdens have the same set up although some have a pop out piece which reveals a phillips screw.
If you look carefully at the pic you will see a wire clip commonly called a jesus clip because when you do this job on the grass and the clip shoots away you will say jesus where did that go.
The tool you see is from the 1960's but similar tools available today from auto shops or make your own or use a piece of rag.
easiest way is with a strip of rag , a nylon type or stocking and holding both ends put it behind the handle , pull it tight and release/let go of one end. As you can see from the first image the pointy end are facing up towards the handle so you need to drag the clothe strip in the opposite direction , if that doesn't work maybe someone has reversed the clip so do the opposite
Ha Ha to be perfectly honest I always said what you said, where the fark did that go, but then I read on commodore forum it was called a jesus clip, so I wrote that.Your showing your age @rambunctious hehe
"jesus where did that go"
was old school, from EJ [Chrome Handles] > VP [Plastic Handles]
It's now "Where The F___ did that go"
PS: I also have one of those Jesus Clip tools, for 2 different sizes.
