Remove the cam and put a rod/drift into the cam shaft hole with the other end in a vice. Put an adjustable wrench on the end of the lever and shear the remaining shell of the rivet. You can then wiggle it off the cam shaft. Don't worry about hurting the lever as it's forged and way stronger then the drilled rivet shell.
Does anyone have this article in their archives that they can share?

I am a newbie Model A owner with more than 40 years difference between me and my car. So any help from more experienced owners is much appreciated.
