get a BIG flat head screw drive, bung it in the gap closest to you when you pull the lever out and twist it, the two side holders should do the "the splits" and with a little wiggle should come free  :wink:

There was a little metal retainer clip on mine, had to flick that out of the way before I could prize the forked end apart.
