Neil, I have a small Pittman arm puller I use for the lever. There is
very little for it to grab so if the lever is stuck the puller will
spread since the puller jaws are against an angled surface. I then arc
weld a couple bumps for the 2 jaws to catch against and that usually
does it. I have had to cut a few off with a sawsall still. Then I use a
press to force the cutoff stub out of the lever.
