You do not have to remove the swing arm. If you release spring pressure and unbolt the three bolts I mention above the swing arm will actually slip ABOVE the wheel carrier with the ball joint. You can then remove/reinstall the ball joint from below the swing arm. Levering the swing arm down and back into place took me quite a while. I used a long wooden stake (1-2 inches thick) to lever the swing arm down. I put the lower strut bolt thru the lower strut hole (without strut attached) and used that as a lever point to push the swing arm down.
