Unbolting the swing arm will be a BITCH! However, it will be a great opportunity to lubricate all of your suspension components. A Dremel tool will do it but will take a while. Boot cutter won't do. Maybe a BOLT cutter would but it would be a first that I've heard of. If you don't remove the swing arm and don't decide on a master link (my choice) you're going to have to invest about $80.00 for some good link rivet tools and if you do that you will not have to cut-off your old chain. Your $80.00 rivet tool set should include and link removal tool. I didn't say it would be inexpensive. Lube your chain really well and make sure you don't have to go through all this ****.
