I've checked I have the right size spanners/sockets (and have even made notes of sizes and torque setting).
Anything else I need to do prep wise? I have a Haynes manual and it looks straightforward enough (famous last words). Is it really neccessary to take the seat off to get at the top bolt securing the shock (it looks like I might just be able to reach them as it is)? Haynes seems to suggest you might need to remove the exhaust. It doesn't look like I will, but can anyone confirm this?
The shock is a Nitron without a remote resevoir.
Just wanted to check as a mate is coming down to give a hand and I didn't want it to be a wasted journey. Another friend will be photographing the process, so hopefully I'll have the basis of a decent "how to" guide for other people to use in future, provided tonight goes okay.
TIA

Yeah taking the seat off makes life a LOT simpler. No need to touch the exhaust. Taking the rear wheel out makes manipulating the swing arm a lot easier.
You DO have a breaker bar to undo them nuts? They are really tight.
