There is a write up on this somewhere around here already.
In essence you cut it with a saw blade between the primary and the tranny/engine area. I used a saw blade with some tape around one end so I could hold on to it. The forward control kit should then come with a plug to pop in the remaining hole where the shaft was.

You can cut the shaft from the back then cap the hole.
Some ppl do it the hard way remove everything, I don't understand the point. You don't even have to remove the outer primary cover, I have done that.

I did mine this way also but I put tape on both ends to keep from scratching. It did wear my fingers out pretty good but still a lot easier than removing primary.

Since you said that you already went to mids, I assume you're just talking about covering the hole in the outer for cosmetic reasons? A little cap should have come with the forward kit. You can also get a larger cover that looks pretty good. Shop around for 'inspection cover'. Most will have screws but some have an adhesive back that will work with your bike.
