There are two ways to do this. The easiest, if it will work for you, is to
slather some chassis grease on the rod to make it stay up out of your way
long enough to sneak the pump lever arm under it. If you are quick enough,
that's all there is to it.
If you can't make this work for you, there is a plug right in line with the
rod, sticking out the bottom of the block (that is how they machined the
hole), and you can remove that plug temporarily so that you can hold the rod
up with a small took while you insert the pump lever from the side. Be sure
to seal the plug when you reinstall it, as these will leak oil if they are
not sealed.
