You need to unbolt the strips that attach it on both ends.   

They are rusty and may break but you need to eventually replace them when you install replacement 

strap.   I do not know if someone sells the replacement strap but have heard of owners using strips 

from a conveyor belt.

Thanks for the info, it certainly doesn't seem complicated but I saw it as very tense and I was wondering if removing the straps would make it difficult for me to put the lever that comes from that "shock absorber" back into place.

If you do not intend or want to replace the straps.... unbolt the shock to take the tension off the strap. 

You might need to somehow compress the spring to remount the shock without removing the strap

From the photo,  it is not clear how the strap is attached at the bottom,  unbolting that mount might be simpler.
