How does one remove the lever from a quick release skewer?

It's from the Deore DX hub. Very similar to the one pictured above, but there is no circlip up inside the recess.

Looks like these -

There is circlip at the end of lever (I used sharpened wire to take it off) simple!

I was so sure there wasn't, as I'd looked under the microscope at 40x magnification and it looked like it was a complete ring.... But when I went back to check, it turns out you're absolutely right, but there was a tiny bit of grease obscuring the gap! The gap is probably no more than a tenth of a millimeter across, so this is going to be fun!

Cheers Rider!

Glad to be of help!
Done it first time as I always wondered how,but never take one apart.
That wow moment at the simplicity of design worth it!
