Power steering column install on a 66 questions

[msg]

I had planned to wait to install the steering column until the wiring was done to avoid scratching up the newly painted upper column with the instrument cluster install, but the wiring cant start until I have the inner fender on the driver side installed per the AAW 1st bag-fuse box. So I thought I would switch to do the install of the steering column since it would be easier without the inner fender on. The reference pics I took during the teardown were going to be my guide to just redo in reverse and the first thing I did was use mineral spirits to clean out the bearing at the base of the column.

Now that its clean should I put some grease in the bearing track? It didnt say so in the shop manual, just to clean all parts with solvent and dry with compressed air.

Also there is a spring that I have in the bag of parts I removed that I dont see in any diagrams in the shop or assembly manual. Anyone know which spring this would be?
