Grease is the word

Bryanj:
Not unless you put another one in and its the bolt you are changing, to change the collar and bushes the swing arm needs to come completely out

kevski:
You could remove it in situ, but you would benefit by taking the shocks off and supporting the wheel, but if it moves it will be a pain to get back in.

hairygit:
Or use a bar of the correct diameter to knock it out, leave it there while you sort the pivot bolt, then tap it out with the repaired bolt.

In the scheme of things its no big deal for me to take the wheel out and undo the shock lower mounts.

My main query is if I have another pin ready can I knock one out with the other? That way I could install one with screw in nipples and not be left with a bike in bits. If it had to be apart for any length of time I could imagine it getting left until winter, not good for the bushes if I do 3,000 miles this year as planned.

hairygit:
Yes you can, that's what Bryan was saying, but the but nut would end up on the wrong side. If you use a piece of bar to tap the pivot out, sort the grease nipples, the n use the pivot to tap the bar out, you can put it back the right way round.
