Ekk tyre lever :/ problem with that your yankin it at an angle,

With mine i just got a rubber mallet and tapping it from under all over, Taking my time, slowly moving it up. making sure it was even around.
Also if i recall i think that the ignition barrel is also attached by to bolts. been over a year now since i rebuilt it

The bolts holding the clipons to the top yoke are what you've missed. Remove those and it should tap off with a rubber mallet fairly easily

Forgot to say.....you've no need to remove the ignition barrel, neither would be able to anyway whilst on the bike as its held in place by security fasteners that need to be drilled out.
Just disconnect at the multiplug.
