I have an 07 and not much mechanical skill, and I was able to remove the rear wheel/tire with no problem by myself, with just the axle nut tool from the stock toolkit, and a breaker pipe.

I got it back on with a little help from my wife to hold things in place while I got the axle back in.

I can't stand the idea of paying someone the extra $$ to remove the wheel if I am able to do it myself.

Now, I have to figure out how to remove the front as well! (to support the bike up front, in other words ... with the center stand, the rear tire was easy as it's off the ground to begin with)
