I was also going off the fact that you don't have to get dirty to cut seat foam. You'll have bits of foam everywhere but at least you don't have to get grease and dirt on your hands or gloves. Lol.

Since most of these pivots come dry anyway, they should be taken apart and greased for proper servicing anyway, including the shock bolts. So I see it as an opportunity to kill many birds with one stone.
