Swing arm bolt and rear shock

[sprtrx300ex]

This weekend I'm gonna put on my raptor rear shock. Since I'll be workin at the rear, I thought that I might as well take out and grease up the swing arm bolt. Do I have to have the wheels off the ground? Whick should I do first? Any tips?
Thanks

i heard for the raptor you have to hold the swing arm up when taking out the swing arm bolt. just in case it wount come out try that before pounding the chit out of it. My friend told me this and he has a raptor and is pretty good at mechanics so i think its true.
