The upper bracket is not easy to remove.
There is an easier way to remove the shock absorber : remove the horizontal screw that hold the absorber & the upper bracket together.

Took mine out early this year when I took the swing arm out, not the easiest even with the wheel out.
No more a TDM owner moved on to the Tracer
