Remove seat and side panels
Put bike on center stand
Put block under rear tire
Remove relay arm/dog bone bolt, let dog bones dangle from swing arm bolts
Remove lower relay arm/ shock bolt, pivot relay arm forward for clearance
Remove upper shock bolt while supporting shock...and pull the shock out from the bottom
