Re: swinging arm
no m8 but you need to support the bike by the subframe ideally.
the way i do it is from the garage roof with ratchet straps.
you can use a large stepladder over the back end as an A frame then use straps (surprisingly strong when youre pulling down on the ladder)
back wheel off, undo the shock linkage, undo the main swing arm pivot (under the plastic caps) then it will come free.
you'd be as well using the opportunity to grease up all those linkage bushes.

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
