get the back tire off the ground. loosen the pinch bolt. remove axle. remove wheel. done.

edit: i think i may have finally figured out why some of you have to remove the rear caliper to get the wheel off. only reason i can think of is if you still have the belt guards on, it may not allow you enough room to slide the wheel past the caliper. glad i dont have that problem!

Both of you guys skipped pulling the upper belt guard. I am pretty sure that is in the service manual.
