Squeaky Steering Column - Lubrication Points? | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Other than universal joints (which I have already doused with silicon lubricant to no avail), is /are there a good place(s) to lubricate a VW steering column to eliminate obnoxious squeaking (when turning steering wheel)?

How does one "get to" any such areas ? If removal of steering wheel nut is required, what size is that beast? (my 13/16 lug nut socket is way too small)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
