there is a horse shoe clip ( jesus clip ) looks like a "U" there is a slot in the lever... a crochet' needle will grab the end of the clip and make the center of the "U" wider so it will slip over the recess.
you can go to www.vetteessentials.com for instructions with pictures to remove this lever..

I agree with Evil-Twin - the instructions on the Vette Essentials web site are very good and easy to follow. If you have to remove the bezel, you will find it much easier to take the seat out of the car. Instructions are included for that too.

The tech tip here on this site has a pretty good write-up and photo's on this as well. Between here and the Vette Essentials as posted above you should be fine.
