Yes, you should removed the heatsink from the CPU. A way of doing this is to run some CPU intensive program to heat up the old thermal paste then power off. Release the heatsink clamps and gentle twist the heatsink to break the thermal compound seal. The heat sink should lift up without pulling the CPU from it;s socket.

Try aiming a hair dryer at the base of the heatsink to warm it up.
