Remove the rear wheel after jacking up and onto axle stands.

Disconnect brake line that goes through and take out of the way.

Undo 4 bolts that hold on torsion bar covers and remove.

Undo bottom rear damper bolt and swing out of way (or remove completely).

Undo the four large bolts that hold hub carrier to springplate.

Hang hub carrier on a lrge zip tie, or rest on something like a spare axle stand.

Remove rear springplate after noting where it was placed originally (if its in stock position, take care prising it off). Then after any cleaning required, re-fit the adjustable springplate in its position - I chose a one spline drop from standard setting as a starter.

Refit everything else! Its quite simple really, just prepare with lots of WD40 or similar and take care.

Its a spacer, it simply fits under the torsion bar housing cover.
