I guess I better 'fess up to what I did - that I shouldn't have. Like most everything on this machine there is a lot of dried oil that prevents getting the parts to slide nicely out. When working to get the washer out of the front, the lever was not sliding out. Here is the side with the screw and spring out (also seen at

This is what I used to move it out with.

Why I grabbed
that screwdriver - I don't know. I have several close by and one has plastic tubing on it. I also had the rubber strip close by as well. Consequently this happened.
