Can somebody tell me how to remove the bolts in the end of the swing arm so the axle can be pulled so the rear tire can be removed?
The bolts are to adjust the belt.

No need to remove the bolts. Just loosen them up push the wheel forward and rotate the belt off of the sprocket. Then pull the axle out.

Nobody can tell you that. You have to pull the axle first, because it goes through the other end of those bolts.
