I did it recently, follow haynes manual - all becomes clear 
Main thing it doesn't say in the haynes is that you'll need a 27mm socket get 32mm for the rear spindle too...
It' a good idea to grease up the suspension linkages/rear shock as well, you need to take them out before the swingarm anyway
I found you don't need to remove the silver frame protectors by the footpegs, it'll all come out anyway (good for me because there's a rounded bolt 
)
I didn't need a new grease seal for the swingarm, but you may, I'd only done 16,000 miles
Oh, it's much easier if you can find someone to help as well, the swingarm's pretty light, but still easier to have someone to move chain out of the way, push bolts through etc..
Hope that helps,
any questions just send me a pm and I'll try and help
