Changing the rear wheel on a regular swingarm bike is a pain in the butt. I put my foot under the tire to lift the tire/wheel and move it forward/back, and use my hands to put the chain on the sprocket and align the caliper bracket. There's really no other way to do it without a second person, IMO. The only real magic to the whole thing is the wheel has to be just about exactly parallel to the swingarm the entire time, or else stuff won't fit. Even a slight twist to the left or right means the brake caliper isn't going to fit.
