No, the backplate is held on with 4 screws. With the plate off,
each lever-pin assembly except the frozen two can be lifted out.


Ok.

That is strange it's completely stuck. The WD40 somebody else suggested
might be worth a try.

alcohol won't affect some really old dried up inks. I put lots of pens
through the wash so I get to experiment with this from time to time.
