Chris, I'd recommend spraying some PB Blaster or similar on the
brackets. You do not need to remove the spring, and as someone who just
had to do that, I would NOT do it if you don't have to.
As far as removal of the brackets, sometimes they need coaxing with a
large screwdriver to get them to slip off.
Hope this helps,

Subject: TR6 Front Shock
Hello folks, I am having some trouble removing the front shock. The
top
control arms and trunion is off but spring is intact. The 4 nuts are
off the
bottom of the shock mount, but the brackets seem to be rusted in place.
Has
anyone came across this and if I remove the spring will it release some
pressure on the lower shock mounts? As always ANY comments are welcome.
Thanks Chris
