You won't be able to do it with the rear on the ground or on the stand. The swingarm needs to move freely. There will be too much pressure on it to remove the bolts. This is all part of the suspension and you don't relieve the pressure by putting it on the stand, it's the same as it being on the ground.

You have adjustable links, so you just need to move the one side with extra bolt holes to a the next point.

I emailed the original owner and this is what he told me....

As for your questions, I just dropped the forks in the tree so if you loosen the tree you should be able to slide them either way. The dog bones also are adjustable. I think when i installed them I put them on the middle setting. I want to say that each adjustment is -3, -1, and + 1. Don't hold me to that though.

How do I know when I have the forks at the correct height?
