You have to remove the handbrake lever next. Only one of the clips comes
out first, then the cylinder should be loose enough to pull it away from the
backing plate enough to slip the lever out. That leaves clearance to remove
the last 2 clips. As the TR3 manual puts it :
(iii) By using a screwdriver, prise the
retaining plate and spring plate
apart, then tap the retaining plate
from beneath the neck of the
wheel cylinder.
(iv) Withdraw the handbrake lever
from between the backplate and
wheel cylinder.
(v) Remove the spring plate and
distance piece, and finally the
wheel cylinder from the backplate.
