Hey there,

1. Yes.  Nicely with a puller.  Not so nicely without
one.

2. It sounds like it is breaking apart.  Easiest way
to check with little effort is to drop the lower
covering, unplug the ignition switch, and plug that
into a new switch.  Try to turn the new switch in your
hand with a screwdriver.  Does require you to buy a
switch, but sooner or later you will need it anyway...

3.  Sounds like you need to bleed the system.
