My method is to remove the cover plate from the bellypan under the front
u-joint. Then, I can guide the front splines into place with my hand. The
cover plate provides much more convenient access for greasing the front
u-joint than that little one-inch hole in the tunnel, which is pretty much
inaccessible in my car without removing the driver's seat first.
