No you do not have to remove the hoe this can be don by driving the pin down below the top mounting Bracket.
I removed attachment from loader, extended hoe out on the ground, blocked up the bucked end about 10"
Blocked up the frame about the same this allows you to get a floor jack under the hoe when you need to do adjustments. Remove the top cap on the swing pin, remove the bolt, you will need to put a wrench on the bottom bolt under the swing pin I used a piece of plywood and floor jack to hold the wrench in Place, remove the top bolt. remove floor jack. Insert a traded bolt about 10" long same size as the one you removed. make sure there is no tension on the swing pine, the frame and hoe are supported separately. take a heavy hammer drive the pin down until it clears the top mounting bracket.The sleeve baring stays in place. Remove 10" bolt, pull the frame back a few inches this will allow you to remove swing shaft.
Install I used a come-along to pull the hoe and frame together. line hp the pin and mounting bracket you might have to use floor jack to make some adjustment. place the large washer on top of the sleeve baring, Insert the 10" bolt with a not on the bolt all the way up hand tighten, back nut down to the washer tighten nut this will pull the pin into position, keep cranking until pin reaches the top of retaining bracket. Remove 10" bolt insert retaining bolt. Replace cap grease all done.
