Hello
Need the specific year ans model please, also is this a power pull down latch and exactly what is it doing. I will say that trunk latches are not repaired just replaced with few exceptions, replacement is very easy as they are secured by in place in most cases with just 2 bolts. Before you replace the latch make sure the adjustment for the latch striker is not loose or out of adjustment. look for Marks where bolts are and make sure the latch retaining bolts heads are centered over the marks on the paint, these are the marks left in the paint by the factory when the bolts were first tightened.

There is a spring clip on the shaft,might be able so snag it with
small hook but the tool is pretty cheap
