Spoiler stuck down, how to get back up?

Hmmm my spoiler is stuck down, and the pumps rams have shattered (non repairable). How do I get the spoiler back up? Pulling on it doesn't seem to move it at all...

Once I get it up and removed I plan to do the hack where the spoiler always remains up and will remove hydraulics and pump.

Thanks in advance, yes I did search and came up with nothing.

OK I figured it out.
1. Disconnect banjo bolts on bottom of rams.
2. remove tiny circlip on bottom of rams
3. now spoiler will move relatively freely up if you push up evenly on both sides.

My spoiler hydraulics were dead, so I followed the instructions in this post: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ng-struts.html
and now my spoiler is up all the time now no more fussing about.
