A breaker bar does the job in seconds (180° swivel). I cut the handle off a long one so that it just misses the engine mount. The size of the square is a nice fit into the tube that holds the bungee. Insert the square in the  tube. slip the bungee over the handle and lift. As the handle moves up past the perpendicular position to the strut, the bungee slides over the end and onto the tube. Done. No sharp edges as the swivel area of the breaker bar is a little bigger diameter than the tube. It's really effortles and needs only one hand. Taking the bungee off again??? Probably no help. I didn't try that yet.....Geoff

Bet you a shoehorn (an actual smooth stainless steel shoehorn) could be fitted to the breaker bar and slid under the bungee cord and removed the opposite way it was put on.  You may have to make the bend in the shoehorn a little tighter to fit inside the radius of the bungee better but I bet it would work pretty sweet.
