Window Screen Knife Latch Replacement

I'm looking to replace these parts, because most of them have rusted out. I'm also wondering if there is a specific removal tool. I have a thin blade that worked okay to remove this one, but it wasn't terribly easy. I suspect product 90-227 (Large Butterly Latch) will work, but only one dimension is shown in the product details.

To remove a knife latch  like this, what I usually do is take a very small flat blade screw driver and try to depress the clip on the side of the latch. You might also need to open up the cut out in the screen frame. The key is to just take your time so as to not to damage the screen frame.
