You are right the in way you assume it should work - turning the lever counter clockwise as you suggest will free the gypsy. One way of stopping the gypsy from turning is by using a chain secured at one end.

Disassembly is fairly obvious - but I found it necessary to use a three-leg puller to get the gypsies off the spindle
