Perfect. Thank you so much. It will be my project for this Fall.
I often have trouble finding the spare parts. How do you find the 7 dollar bearing for examble - Tried searching for "Kymco Like 200i rear bearing" on ebay, but no luck really. Or do you look up the part number somewhere?

Yeah, I've found that some parts are available from all kinds of sources. Figured a Japanese made bearing from a good company was a better deal than buying through Kymco.
Some things are generic.
Special size nuts, washers, O-rings, bearings, etc. - once you know the size, you can find them from other sources - equal quality & often at a much better price.
Suzuki parts houses sold an O-ring for goofy $, found the same item from a company which makes nothing but O-rings for automotive and industrial use. Bought 5 of them for $7.
As I recall, the fussiest part of the tire change/wheel removal was re-fitting the heavy exhaust. Used twine to tie the far end up while mating it up to the engine studs- "floated" it there on string with slack to move it about as needed.
My photo host decamped with most of my photos of the procedure.
