How do you remove the rear wheel? I would appreciate blow-by-blow instructions as I am The Mechanical Numpty brought down to Earth and made (nearly) human.

Remove lockring from nut, stand on rear brake while cracking nut a bit loose with a breaker bar, support bike on rearstand (or lean left on sidestand + slip a block of wood under suspension linkage), undo nut all the way.
..............isn't there a pin or something that needs replacing everytime you change the wheel?
No. You are probably talking about the lockring on the nut. You can use it plenty of times. No reason to take everything you read in shop manual literally.
Have a go at removing the wheel and it will all make sense.
..............isn't there a pin or something that needs replacing everytime you change the wheel? Or is it a clip or somesuch?
Maybe you're thinking of the Stake Nut on the left hand side. You are sposed to replace that after removing, but I reused mine. 146 Nm isn't coming undone by itself. NFW!
I asked my local service manager and he did not recommend it. I did the same job recently, and boy, a 3/4" drive handle and 46mm socket sure makes removal easy!

It's a spring clip, and you can reuse it many times. I use a small zip to safety tie the clip so it won't ever come off.
Rear wheel removal.......now how does that go?
