Can you try loosening the spring compressors (just a very little bit at a time!) to see if that'll help move the plate along?

Got it off. with the spring depressor tool on and tight I picked up the whole assembly and gave two good whacks with a hammer one the end of the strut where the nut was removed from, and that sucker popped right out.

Thanks for your replies and help gentlemen.
