Default Fatboy rear shock leaking

My 2008 Fatboy has one rear shock that drips a bit of oil overnight. Getting the rear bolt (swingarm) off seems to be a difficult task with limited room and a high torque value. I do have a motorcycle jack and a regular car jack.

Can someone tell me how they were able to get the rear bolt (swingarm) loose and off the bike.

Thanks,

SUP

It took a box end 19 mm wrench and a rubber mallet. Not much room under bike but enough to hit the wrench and loosen the bolt.
