you will need to get it off mate to avoid drilling into the bush or swarf getting in there
while it's off you might as well do both sides.
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

you'll get swarf inside, so strip it out and grease it thoroughly, after fitting new nipples.
should be good for a year before needing regreasing.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

When I did my shock the other day I thought I'd strip the pro link thing and grease it but found the previous owner had already put grease nipples on it.
