well I finally got the TD lever out, and what a PITA it was. I used Postino's method of locking back the toggle and using a punch to knock down the barrel stop on the td lever. ONce I had it down i was able to remove the side plate (with some coaxing). There seems to me a substancial ammount of rust underneath all these parts, im assuming rusting was the cause of the lever malfunction.
If anyone happens to have a spare TD lever laying around let me know (of course willing to reimburse for fair market value)
Again thanks for all the help!
