Spline Lube guidance on 2004 R1150RS?

Hey all, we're starting to break down the bike for a clutch replacement on my son's (mine, formerly) [SUP]R1150RS[/SUP]. I seem to recall seeing some guidance on this task years ago but cannot locate any info. We're at the point where we're prepping for the transmission removal, but haven't quite gotten to the point where we pivot the frame to accomplish this task. Can anyone provide some advice regarding what is needed to pivot the frame? Currently we are at the point in which the removal of the battery box is necessary. Is there a way to do this without disengaging the bowden box on the bottom of the battery box? Any advise? Thank you.
 
Be sure to replace the clutch slave cylinder while you are in there. Mine leaked and destroyed my clutch at 53K, 2003 RT.
 
Thanks to both of you. Got the back end raised for pulling the transmission, it's a side project for sure. Yep, way ahead of you on the slave cylinder.
