Does anyone know how to remove the strut from the deck? There is a nut and bolt but it's connected to a plate which seems to be welded on. Do I have to cut that metal plate off?

You don't want to destroy the pin.

The following is an example only as you didn't the mower's serial number which is how we lookup the Exmarks.

First you need to remove the retaining bolt and nut [items 16 and 17] then you use a couple flat head screws to get pin started out and then pull the pin out.

Note> There must be no weight on the deck and the strut as that will bind the pin. And hopefully this area has been kept greased; otherwise, it going to be hard to get the pin out. If I remember correctly you can drive pin with a long punch from the backside. Oh I you ask before I sent the Exmark here yesterday morning as I could had double check things.
