which model TDM have you got?
mk1/3VD
mk2/4TX
900/5PS
your profile still says 'none yet' and its one of those things that varies wildly depending on model.

Get it up on a paddock stand.
Rear wheel out.
Hugger off.
Undo both screws holding the B/box on
Remove it (after disconnecting cables) by sliding it around the shock, on the right hand side.
Its a tight squeeze but it will come out.

That'll do nicely

And I thought havving to take the tank off to get at the Mk1 battery was a pain in the arse 
You've gotta love the optimism of the Haynes Manuel (I know nuuuthing) which seems to think you just take off the seat and there it is.

Thedbf, you not planning to remove the rear wheel and hugger, there is not need.
Easy way I found to remove battery on MkII is remove RHS rear peg hanger, rear brake lever and losen brake piston from frame. remove battery cables from relay,unscrew battery box screws, battery slip out on RHS of Shock.
Can be done when bike is in side stand.
