2nd gen IS250 Coilover removal help

[jesseshi]

Hi guys having abit of trouble removing the oem coilover in my 2nd gen lexus is250. 

I have removed the upper ball joint, the 10mm bolt wire housing connected to the coilover, 17mm nut that hold the lower shock and the 3 14mm nuts holding the coilover in the engine bay. 

Am i missing something else as it seems I need the lower control arm to move down in order for the coilover to slide out. 

Do i need to remove the sway bar link connected to the lower control arm? 

I have attached some pictures of what it currently looks like. 

Appreciate any advice :)
