Just remove one side, and lube, then replace, then the other.
I have done it solo, but depending on the sag in your shocks, a second person can be useful to raise the rear-end a millimeter or two to slip it back on.

At the least, it will stop your sleeves rusting to the studs and make shock removal easier.

Ok. These are springs inside, no air. But I check these two other what you mentioned.
