Klicker,
Easiest way to do this:
Bike on centre stand, take out bottom shock asborber bolts. Loosen top bolts, and swing shocks backwards and up away from swing arm. Put a block or brick under rear tyre to bring rear axle bolt above mufflers. Take the torque link bolt off where it attaches to the swing arm. Take axle nut off, and with dowl or big bolt, tap out the axle until it just clears the plate holding the caliper in place. Swing the caliper off the disk, and put two wedges of wood or screwdrivers in to keep the pads apart. Using wire, hang the caliper off the swing arm (so as not to have all the weight on the rubber hose). With Bleed nipple at the top, bleed the system again, remembering to constantly check the level in the reservoir under the seat. Then put it all back together.

Good luck with it.
