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)

How I did it:
Remove front wheel. Have someone weigh down the back while the bike is on the center stand to remove the front wheel. Once the wheel is removed, place it on a 2x4 that's on top of 2 cinder blocks. Strap bike down to cinder blocks, then remove the rear wheel.
