The electrical? Let me know how it goes, it's next on my list of honey-dos.

I don’t know shite about cars outside of changing the oil and replacing head- and taillights.
And that’s an expensive sort of ignorance.

I once threw my back out... picking up an envelope that had fallen on the floor. Don't ask me how. Don't even ask me why because I have no idea how I pulled that off.
I've pushed a minivan, up hill, on my own but an envelope totally kicked my arse.

Get an allen wrench (or something shaped like an L), and slide the shorter arm of it into the loop on the collar pointing back towards you, then pull the longer arm towards yourself.
That will twist the collar counter-clockwise and release, which will free the motor assembly.
Note that you'll need something underneath, because it will fully release, potentially allowing the whole thing to fall straight down.

I'll admit that you like it in the butt. That's very unmanly.

I once cheated and used a metal wedge to split wood.
I am still shamed to this day

A screwdriver will work if you can get it into that loop on the collar.
ETA - The box of the new disposal might actually have the tool you need in it.

True, the allen wrench is first to mind because there's often one included somewhere in case the unit is jammed and needs to be advanced manually (via the bottom).
I'm having to word this carefully without using terms like "crank" or "shaft"
Know your audience.

You said crank and shaft.

Meanwhile, after initiating this, Harry is now three sheets in the wind, passed out under the sink while we debate the finer points of kitchen lifestyle appliances.

I damaged a tendon(?) in the tip of my thumb hitting a backhand in pickleball.

In all honestly, I've only taken a cursory glance at ours and saw a couple of wires leading out of it. Didn't look where it went. LOL
I'm just proud of myself for making it last a couple of months longer by cranking the motor a couple of times a week.
That's what she said.
