As you've discovered you need to hold the outer edge of the frame-counter disc while you undo the centre screw. Aford's method sounds a good one. The method I've used is to find a piece of rigid plastic tube a suitable diameter and file or turn a taper on the inside so it will grip when you push it down onto the disc.

There are 3 little screws holding the lever on (or only one in your case as 2 seem to have escaped!). They were originally locked in with lacquer, and they inevitably work loose if they are assembled without. I use a tiny bit of Loctite under the heads, or you could use 'Superglue' (cyanoacrylate), but you do NOT want to get any on the threads or the screw will shear if you ever need to take it off again!
