I am attempting to remove the rear hood to paint it and have every step completed except I am unable to remove the throttle control lever from it's connections. Here is the rear hood with the throttle control lever sticking up with it's right angle bend:
Next are two close ups of the bottom of the throttle control lever where it passes through the control lever assembly (and subsequently connects to the throttle control rod). I have taken the spring and washer off the end of the lever and very temporarily replaced the lock nut for picture clarity. I loosened the control lever assembly bolt and mistakenly thought I would just pull the lever up through the hood, but no way.
The has been a rougher project than I expected. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
