Rear linkage / swingarm maint., & Abba Skylift clearance issue?

Before I become prematurely heartbroken over my idea to use the my Abba Skylift to perform the rear suspension linkage and swing arm pivot bearing maintenance, to those that have done this job before, is the lift going to get in the way of being able to remove everything? I can't fully extend the center stand because of Abba's
crossmember going through that area. Any hope? I thought I remember hearing that the center stand needs to be fully extended at one point to remove. I hope I'm wrong.

What mileage are people lubricating the swingarm pivot/needle bearing? I have seen no posts of bearing failure so thinking of skipping for now since my '16 has only 21.5k miles. I usually don't skip anything, but it seems like it can go a bit. At least double the 16k interval. Opinions?

How? Do you have an email addy or phone #?
Russell Holden is on Facebook, I have his home address but his email is AWOL ....but I can contact him if you don't have Face Book.
I purchased a pivot arm from him with grease zerks several months, it's time to install it before summer.
