What year and model?
You might want to replace the rear wheel bearings and (brake pads if needed) as well while it's off the bike.
Here's my thoughts............
Remove the side axle covers.
Remove the first jamming setscrews then the adjuster setscrews on both sides near front of axle.
Loosen and remove the axle nut.
With the bike on the lift and securely strapped, raise rear wheel just off the ground. If using a front wheel chock then loosen the straps as needed when raising bike.
Remove rear axle and safely capture the wheel spacers and the caliper with its mount. NOTE THE SPACER LOCATIONS THEY'RE DIFFERENT.
Remove drive belt from rear rotor.
Raise bike higher off ground to about 4 inches.
Rear wheel should roll out from under fender.
Inspect wiring harness under rear fender for damages.
DON'T PRESS THE REAR BRAKE LEVER WHILE DISSASEMBLED.
You may have a challange re-aligning the rear wheel properly once done without the proper tools.
Adjust the belt drive tension so that you can move the belt about 1 inch up to down near middle at about 3 to 4 pounds of force.
IMO the belt tension spec is way too tight for the dogs and contributes to early rear wheel bearing failures.
