Photo needed. But, I would guess remove heat shields and loosen all exhaust connectors. Maybe you will get enough "wiggle" to get it off. And if the axle bolt needs to come out, you'll probably need to remove mufflers, at least.

Use your own discretion...if there's enough room, then no need to remove exhaust

Get one of your buddies to sit on the bike ... the weight should make the exhaust go down a little as the swing arm goes up ...
