Hello Mike,
I am afraid I do not understand why and what exactly are you trying to achieve, but here is how to remove the spin buttons' content (the Spin Up / Spin Down text).
You can remove the hyperlinks completely, as the arrows need some HTML element in order to be displayed. Replacing the hyperlinks with some other element will also be cumbersome, because they have event handlers attached and some CSS styles applied, which work only for "a" elements.
All the best,
Dimo
