Santiago 16 bait clicker

[deepwater gom]

Can anyone please tell me how to get the bait clicker assembly flip lever off the reel?  Not sure how you're supposed the be able to remove the lever so the shaft and spring can be pulled out. There is no pin in the flip lever hole so I don't know if the shaft screws to the flip lever or if it is pressed in. 

Thanks in advance

Kinda looks from your picture of the inside of the reel that there could be a fastener underneath the high-speed gear in there. It's blurry on the picture, though.

Are you sure there's no pawl pin in there?
They're usually tiny split tubes and can be difficult to see or access, eg:

There is but not trying to remove the clicker housing.  Just trying to remove the flip lever so I can pull out the spring as I believe it's broken.

There could very well be one but if there is I can't see it.... This is an older model reel that doesn't have the cap with the screwdriver slot in the flip lever.

It's a tiny flat head crew.  Need to unscrew it all the way out....the click lever will come off...leaving the shaft and spring.

i'll try to snap a photo if I can find the parts in the spare pile

Here are some photos.  I had to use a very tiny flat head screwdriver.

I looked at your pics and there is no screw in mine.  When I look into the hole where the screw is supposed to be I see the housing thats holding the springs and the slot that it drops into when you flip the lever.  This is on a Santiago 16.

I also have a Santiago 50 and it's the same way so I didn't realize a set screw was supposed to be there as   all the schematics that I can find shows the newer style that has the cap on the flip lever. 

Guess I'll soak it in penetrating oil and hope I can somehow pry it off.

Thank you kindly for your response sir!!
