if the kick stand turns, you may be able to remove it by turning the bottom enough to come between the chain stays. you'll obviously need to remove the rear wheel and the fender for the stand to come out. there is no chainstay brace to interfere with the stand sliding out between the chain stays.
you may also try to cut through the top plate of the stand with a hack saw. if you cut from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the photo, you'll be able to loosen the clamp enough that it will again come out the back.
if you're installing a new stand, use either blue loctite, grease, or anti-seize on the mounting bolts. loctite is best because it keeps moisture/corrosion from the bolt threads, prevents vibration from loosening the bolts, and allows for removal at a future date.
