actually that needle bearing lubing is pretty easy but the splines/shafl/differential is intermediate -expert level task.

this is not rear needle roller bearing, this is about shaft connecting differential/bevel box and the engine

Gonna really show my ignorance here. The illustration tells us to loosen then remove the rear wheel spindle bolt but does not point it out. Can you tell me where it is?

In this photo part #2 and part#3 are visible, oil seal is not because its already out

Newbie here to Rockets, what size torx does that nut take...so I have it on hand? Also as I don't have a manual could you tell me the torque setting for that nut and the four nuts to lube the drive shaft. I'm also looking for a reasonably priced shop manual if someone could steer me in that direction. 2008 R3. Thank you in advance.
 
Click on the link I provided in the post before yours that says, "here you go..." The pictures show the sizes.
 
The manual is free to download - look in Resources on this site.
