I undid the top of the rod, connecting with the link.
The bottom of the rod is still attached to the swingarm, but the rod doesn't rotate on the swingarm, i have to push it really hard, not sure if that's meant to be or if i need to take it fully apart or replace it.

Take it off and soak it in penetrant to get the lower ball free. Or better yet buy an adjustable one. Nobody ever lubes the rear suspension. Since both ends are now off take the rocker off and check the two needle bearings and regrease them.
The original needed a a big service and replacement spring, thought i better add some cash to it and upgrade to a Bitubo one.
