Default Help with steering wheel squeak

I have that annoying steering wheel squeek where the steering stem goes through the firewall.

I found this fix...
https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...D=35&TopicID=1

The picture is not so great. Do I get to it from inside the car of from the engine compartment? I can't find the opening in the lower bearing that it refers to. On the inside there is a plastic ring at the base against the firewall with an electrical plug coming from it. I think this may be the right spot but I don't want to spray lithium grease in there if there are electronics in there as well.

Can some one provide further detail for this fix?

Thanks.

Had the same problrm. You have to spray the spot from under the hood. It is hard to get to the spot because of the break booster. Good luck.
