This probably indicates my unfamiliarity with TR6 ... but why do you have to
remove the caliper mount to remove the vertical link? Can't you just undo
the trunnion and ball joint?

I made up a sort-of puller to remove the stub axles on my TR3A, from a big
socket and a pipe nipple as I recall. Slid the whole mess over the stub
axle and then used a Grade 5 nut on the outer threads to force the axle out
of the link. Of course, if you have no threads, this method may not work
for you <g>
