Accord Strut Install '93

I got a Chilton's Manual and they say take off the brake hose mount, undo the pinch bolt and remove the strut from the fork. Even with a pry bar I can't push the lower arm down enough to remove the fork. Am I going to have to remove fork itself or maybe the swaybar?

It sounded pretty easy but......

I've found it easier to remove the fork when changing struts as long as the
lower bolt on the fork will come out.
