I was working on the car this weekend on the brakes on the TR3B. 

I decided while I was back there to remove and have the shocks rebuilt.  It seemed easy and convenient at the time.

The passenger side was no problem, the shock came off with the link in tow.

However the driver side is proving to be a bit more difficult,  The shock is unbolted, but I cannot manipulate the link in order to get it to detach from the bracket.  There is not enough space before it bumps into the frame and is stopped in its tracks.

Now that the passenger side is out, I wish I had paid more attention to how I managed to free that side

 
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 
Also, while I am on the topic - how do I go about removing the shock link from the lever arm of the shock.  Pry bar or some sort of puller??

I can answer your question about removing the link from the shock. I removed both link and shock and put them in my vise and hit it with a small sledge. That link was pressed on tight and that was the only way to remove it. No damage occured to my set up. Start with light taps and increase them until the link is released.
