nah mate, not to bad as long as you take yr time.
Makes life easier if you have a abba stand or similar.
get ya self a copy of the linkage and swingarm diagram in the manual on this site ( well usefull, thanks to whomever put that there!), and even draw yaself pictures as you go as regards to linkage position/bolts,etc..

but before you do take it to bits, make sure it does'nt just need tightening up!, check the linkage too, get it on a padock stand and have a play around, see if anything is amiss.

edit: i dont mean tighten it when on the paddock stand tho;), do that on the floor!
