I replaced mine by dismantling the plate on the backside of the tailgate (the side that you walk on when the gate is down). There are a number of screws to take out. Once the plate is off the latch (mine was black plastic) is exposed and can be removed with 2 bolts. I got a big surprise when I took this very simple plastic latch to the Ford dealer and found they wanted $65 (Canadian) for a new one

You need to order the part(s) first, which you can do at your local Toyota dealership or at an auto parts store. Then, you simply disassemble the tailgate, remove the defective latch component, and put in the new part, and then reassemble the tailgate.
