Removing K3 Swingarm?

[DJ123]

Evening all, tomorrow i will be removing the swingarm off my K3. Has any one got any hints, tips and how to's for this.
I have googled and searched on here for it. There is nothing 'conclusive' written up or photographed to say how this is done. I will be on mine to help others out.
First thing i am in need of, to make or borrow is the tool to remove the lock nut on the right hand side.

yes.

loosen all nuts before putting on abba stand

remove exhaust system first

after removing all the dogbone/shocky gubbings undo swingarm spindle nut first then collar then spindle.

Doesn't the Abba stand use the swing arm mounting bolt to support the bike? I supported my bike via a ratchet strap to an RSJ in my basement, but axle stands under the footpeg mounting brackets can be used.

Don't forget/lose the two shim washers at either end of the swing arm bearings!

You can get an ABBA adaptor that doesn't use the swingarm pivot, it locates on the rear footrest bolt on either side.
