Hey WillW,
         Thanks for the compliment. Sometimes you have to step back, relax, and look at the " Big Picture " of what problem you are trying to solve.

So even if you use a 2x4 for rear wheel removal remember this techniqe for removing the rear shocks.  The top bolts are captive behind the fender struts.  This is an easy method for getting them out of the way.

Hell, I'm lazy ! I live on a dead end street ( no traffic ) so I just use the center stand on the curb of the sidewalk and let the rear wheel hang over the street. This gives me 5+ inches clearance.
Sorry, but that is just too easy a solution.

Hello Professor,
        I hit the wrong key and posted an incomplete message ! What I was trying to say was that " sometimes the easiest method is the best way....start out simple, and if it does't work, improvise " !
