I had to lift up the heatsink to change the CPU. The new CPU is literally new. That is, it was out of a sealed box. I read several tutorials which said not to add any grease. The factory grease is fine as long as you don't touch it, which I did not.
I installed the new CPU and then replaced the old heatsink.
FWIW, I did not detect any grease on the new heatsink (the one I was unable to install).
