Blind bracket removal Help!

Hi,

I have these shutter blinds fitted to the wall above my window, with a central support bracket.

I can't for the life of me work out how I can get these down to do some work on them.

The tabs on the end brackets unclip so you should just be able to slide them forward, but the central support bracket doesn't let you do this, you can't lift them up over the support bracket because of the end clips and I also can't get to any of the screws holding the brackets in place, as these are all behind the blind, with no way of accessing them.

Any help would be appreciated.

You may need to bend centre bracket. About £8 for a new one.
I've only ever fitted those blind inside window so I wonder if the centre bracket was bent to allow fitting then bent back
 
My blinds look as if they have a similar set up. One of your pictures shows a catch at the bottom of the bracket that is swung out of the clip. All my brackets have the same. Swing them all around and then juggle the blind cassette out.

Second thoughts your centre bracket does look different, sorry.
