You can't unless you have a Modify V2 anti-reversal latch or ICS V2 mechbox. Both can be released from the outside while standard ones cannot (and thus you have to be very careful when you open them if they've locked up).

I use a small allen key that I hook to the latch and pull.

but usually I just let it pop.

???

I release the tension in my G36 mechbox every time I open it.

Once the motor is off, you can use a small flathead screwdriver to get under the latch and lift it, thus allowing the mechbox to unwind.

Or....you can just open the mechbox and let it release.

It's not a big deal.

Needle nose pliers with the angled end work well too, to grasp the latch. I would be wary of sticking a screwdriver down into the internals of my AEG to 'try and get under the latch.'
