I should have mentioned that I've managed to get the lever off.  I used
the 'Bulley, tap, tap, tap, Method' to get it off.  On perusing the
Bentley once again it appears there is a pivot bolt that I didn't find
during yesterday's session.  When it gets light and warms a bit I'll get
out and see if that is the key.  Thanks, David.
