Don't you just love it when the metal armature link breaks across the narrowest point on a Williams "Jet Bumper"?
Apologies if everyone already knows, but if there's no other apparent problem then the metal linkage can be removed/replaced without disturbing the coil mounting frame (maybe one of the finned 'shank' screws is slipping in the playfield*)
After removing the nyloc nuts securing the rods to the linkages, take out the two phillips/pozidrive screws holding the upper coil bracket/linkages. Then squeeze the linkages down against the return spring and free them from the ends of the rods, pushing the rods (& ring) back to the resting position. There should now be enough room to move the bracket, linkages, plunger, spring, coil & sleeve upwards, free of the stop at the bottom of the coil mounting, allowing the whole bundle to be tilted slightly and then removed
* As I found on a Dr. Who, a game where rectifying that on site wasn't a sensible option
