Hello,

Yes you need to pull the swing arm. I suggest to install the motorcycle on a step like that or something that can lift it to have the wheels above the ground:

Than remove the two big bolt that hold the swing arm ( not necessary to remove the rear shock or motor) pay attention to remove the little set screw that block the nut of the big bolt !!

Should take about 1-2h

Doc
