From the toolkit website:

Using a thin metal rod, pierce the end of the actuator, an equal distance from both sides
and about 1/8” (3mm) from the bottom.  Aim the rod slightly downwards and don’t push it in too far.
The goal is to reach the central channel without puncturing any of the actuator’s walls.
