I'm sure it can be done but the grease sits mainly under the cups on the bushings. The main pivot axle just passes thru the swingarm. I was going to put a light coating of grease on it just to ensure its removal next time around, not for any actual pivoting purposes. The cups and bushings take car of that.

Like I said in a prior post, I had an old Yamaha swingarm pivot bolt rust in place, thanks to the creek I grew up on. It took a big hammer and an Ohio Speed Wrench to bash it out. It didn't make it.....but at least I could then replace it.
