Is it possible to remove the passenger (pillion for you Brits) pegs with the rear tire in place?  There's an allen hex-head bolt inboard of the swingarm holding them in place and I can't find enough room to swing a wrench properly.  Lot of work to remove the rear wheel for this supposedly simple job.  Hints, anyone?

You could grind off most of the sort leg off an allen key (do you call them hex wrenches in the States?) so the tool needs little clearance and let the air out of the tyre to allow you to push the rubber out of the way a bit to draw out the screw, but as it only takes 5 minutes to slacken off the rear adjusters and draw out the wheel spindle, you'd probably be quicker and have to swear less it you pull the wheel.
