I am not master at this but have performed a couple times.

I leave teh bike in gear to help hold axle still. When braking nuts loose.
First I remove teh cotter pin on the right rear hub, side the brake is on.
Then I loosen the axle nut.
Then I loosen up the jam nut on the axle retaining nut, and then the axlenut.
Then loosen the sprocket bolts.
Then I loosen up the bolt that hold the carrier for chain tension, loosen the chain.
Then I put something under the swingarm skid plate (or swingarm) to get the rear tires off the ground and remove tires. Then I remove the brake caliper and the sprocket.
Then I remove axle hub.
Then loosen the axle retaining nut until you can remove the clip on the axle.
Remove clip and nut. slide axle out other side. I believe that is everything do nto believe I am missing anthing.

To remove carrier remove ring then brake holder and o-ring slide out other side.
