As mentioned, I am going to check the bearings and swingarm too when I remove the rear wheel for a new tyre. I might swap out the shock at the same time if it's obvious it needs it. Would be great if it was just the swingarm bearings needed some cleaning and grease though.
Castellated nut tool and Abba stand adpators on order. I'll update with a verdict when done.

Thanks for the advice all.
