In other words, to access the bolt that attaches the swingarm to the frame, you must pull off the round cap to reveal a deep hole in the frame. To remove the swingarm, you must then stick a socket into the frame hole with an extension. No one's asking you to go that far.
These caps come right off with your hand and are often lost accidentally.
