Not sure if the Synchro has a similar clutch arm to the 2 wheel drive but on
my 87  GL once you remove the outer circlip the lever will slide off the
splined shaft.  In my case i went out and rented a puller as no amount of
Liquid Wrench and effort would budge the arm.  Once the puller was installed
and used it came off in moments.  The puller was some sort of universal
tool.................pitman arm puller(?) ..................used in the
automotive industry.
