Boris, you can easily remove the lever from the selftimer and the collar - but unless you have it recovered you will have a bit of a 'hole" there.
Also, try to find the "collar" from a M3 (check with Leica repair guys) and have it installed around the release button. Stops most of the involuntary lens releases.
Thank you Tom for clearing this up! I just got the idea to try the rapid grip first before removing the self timer lever.
