Default Removing the rear wheel

have just gone to the bike to find i have a puncture. want to remove the rear wheel myself. have jacked it up from the rear suspension linkage which is underneath the bike. im really looking for an absolute idiots guide to taking the rear wheel off and putting it back on. do you have to take the rear brakes off? which bolts need taking off, just loosening, stuff to remember, getting the chain off etc. would really appreciate the help. its a 2003 pointy 650.

Not sure I'd want to be taking the rear wheel out with the bike balanced on a jack under the linkage, especially for the first time when there is going to be a certain amount of pushing and shoving going on.
If you are going to get into this sort of activity it might be worth investing in a paddock stand, makes lubing the chain etc a great deal easier as well (circa ?30 - ?40)
If it is only a puncture can you inflate the tyre and see if it is only a slow one? If so you would then be able to ride to where ever is going to fix the puncture and they will probably have not just the paddock stand but the expertise to show you how to use it, and take the wheel out.

Quick question - in the manual it says use a special seal remover to remove a seal in the wheel, is there an alternative?

You can use a screwdriver, be careful not to scratch the inside of the wheel where the seal sits.

May be worth loosening off the wheel nuts before balancing the bike. That way you minimise the chances of it making an unplanned trip across the garage.

buy your self a haynes manual. ive found it a great help to to have in case. few on ebay.

for 30 40 quid you can get front and rear padok stands they are a great help. having both will also mean you can save a few quid when changing tyres as you can take just the wheels in. most places will do it while you wait then.
