NO DO NOT drill shaft

Simplest method is to apply oil between lever & body , insert punch inside spring & tap gently , whilst a brave soul works lever . It takes time but does work , the tapping moves the pivot in & out of the body and drags the oil with it . This will slowly work the lube to where its needed .

A good old school mix is acetone & auto trans fluid 50/50 mix , this has workd where expensive cans have failed , especially on steel / alloy combinations . The acetone evaporates leaving the ATF behind .

Once you have freed off the pivot , use a ceramic grease as it withstands high temps very well Febi make one for coating common rail injectors & turbos
