Wouldn't giving it a lever make it EASIER to pull? That's the reason I put a lever on mine, anyway ;-). Also, I removed the stock actuator entirely to get rid of its extra little bit of drag on the linkage. In your case you could at least disconnect the last piece of the linkage to the actuator arm.

Here's a picture of my setup (not much as I'm still waiting on the cruise to get here!). I removed the linkage to the old actuator completely, and added a little bit of length to the lever arm where it used to attach:
