    No you dont have to take anything apart. Shine a torch on the drivers side firewall and you should see where the steering column comes through. It has a rubber grommet/boot around it. Best thing to use in my opinion is the aerosol spray grease. Need to try get it as far up the rubber boot as you can. Hope that helps.

    i did it with a screwdriver from under the car.
    if you do it this way please use car stands or drive it on ramps.
