From the attached pic, what trick is there to removing the assembly ?

There isn't really a trick; but it is often a bit stubborn.
Now that you've got the cables going to the tailing arms cut (or alternatively neatly unhooked from the mechanism!) and you've got the return spring unhooked there's another hook on the lever / cross piece (piece 6) that comes out of the chassis mount on the RHS of the picture you posted.
Then you just shove the cross piece towards the front of the car. Then you can unhook the front cable (if this hasn't already decided to self detach)
