On a serious note, please disconnect shore power before sending the monkey down below. The 110 volt wires run right into the area where he'll be working.

Blair,
Rob (below) described the correct way to tackle the problem. I was going to use my 11 year old daughter as my spider monkey, but I tried lubricating without disassembly and it worked (at least for me). The "cover" that I referred to is simply the white
plastic (nylon?) cap that covers access to the tiller fitting. Perhaps your cap is missing or stowed?
As I said, Rob describes how to do the job properly, but I managed to fix my problem without disassembly and my daughter still speaks to me.

remove the through bolts from the plate that holds the cap to the rudder post/emergency tiller point.
It's only a couple of hours work. You will need sealant for the cap and through bolts.
But first you will need to trap a spider monkey and train him or her to hold a wrench on those through bolts. I actually bribed a friend who is small and flexible. After that miserable job he's no long we my friend. Maybe I'd still have the monkey?
Remove the "plastic" bearing and lubricate.
Replace the bearing ant test for stiffness in the steering. If it's still stif you may need to lightly sand the inside of the bearing, as I did, and retest until you are happy with the results.
Feel free to contact me off list if you have any questions.
