Questions about changing rear cv boot

Hey guys, probably dumb questions here but I am new to working on something other than a sport bike. I tore up an outer rear boot on my 2014 renegade 1000 xxc and have the oem replacement boot kit for it. Do I need to take both the rear wheels and shocks off just to pull the right axle? It looks pretty easy to pull the axle according to videos but all the ones I have watched show the guys taking off both shocks and wheels. I didn’t know if it was because they were taking both axles out or if they did it so that there is less strain on the diff. Also the boot kit came with a tiny circlip that I don’t recognize. Any thoughts on what that’s for? I know I sound like a dud lol but this really is my first time working on anything of this type. Thanks a lot and any tips are appreciated.

Rene 500 suspension

Normally ride my 500 for pulling a small trailer with a water container for the wifes horses, but I do have a little scramble now and again. When I get all 4 wheels in the air (a couple of feet) it just doesn’t feel smooth. Maybe the stock suspension is crap ?. Is there better shocks available without spending alot ?. Ive got standard wheels and tyre sizes on.

” park brake “

Anyone have that ^^^^^ message scroll across the screen while riding ?
While it’s scrolling the bike acts as if it’s hitting the rev limiter & knocks out the headlamps / tail & brake lamps . As soon as you turn off the ignition & restart , it disappears .

Brake switch ?
Bulb is OK & everything’s normal when message is not scrolling :th_smiliefrustrated
