This is the way I done it and it was my first time..
*Jacked bike up using a HF lift
*Removed both saddle bags
*Removed both mufflers
*Took caliper loose and moved to the side
*Took e-clip off and removed axle nut
*Slide axle out the left side while holding the tire with my knee
Took me maybe about 15-20 min. and tire was off bike.

I can get a socket and extension on the axle nut above mufflers on both my dressers by removing rear bracket and letting muffler hang on pipe. You may want to be sure before lifting as you can use weight to get more clearance. Also you can loosen the muffler clamp a little and gently push down if necessary. I remove the nut and jack it up then place my floor jack pivot plate under the tire. Jack enough to gently remove axle then lower roll around jack to drop wheel and tire. Push forward enough to remove belt the remove the jack and slide bottom of tire out either side to roll assembly out of swingarm. reverse order for assembly, I usually have to roll wheel asm under swingarm then lift onto jack then jack to get axle back in.

This! If you remove the lower shock mounting bolts, you can likely avoid having to remove your mufflers.
