Greasing the Splines

[Dibz]

Planning to do a 1000 mile round trip in a few weeks time and I'm wondering if someone out there with the technical know how, wouldn't mind making a tutorial video on how to grease the splines?
I'm not to bad with a spanner in the hand, but just as a back up I'd appreciate being able to follow a proper 'idiots guide' covering every step to disassemble and reassemble the shaft.
Not sure when it was last done on the GTR I've just bought, so it's for piece of mind I'd like to get it sorted.
I have seen the pic guide in the useful info section, but not to take anything away from that handy thread, in the past I have found video tutorials really helpful and easier to follow than a Haynes manual style photo guide. I've also watched that Italian clip that seems to be more of a highlights reel than a guide, so I didn't find that very useful at all.
I know it's a bit of a tall order...But if anyone is planning on doing a bit of maintenance shortly and gonna tackle lubing the Splines... And have the means to video the work... I'd really appreciate the help.
Also a link to what grease I should purchase would be grateful too. I've read a few diff opinions on what to use...so I'm a little unsure.
Cheers

  I would also love to have a go at doing this.

Somewhere on here is a written description by Kwikasfuki which I followed and it was very easy, from start to finish less than two hours and that included me drinking a couple of cups of coffee.

I seem to remember you need a 35mm socket which I purchased before the event, don't hold me  to that size but find the written ( I will look also) description and it's clear.

Those pictures don't mean nothing to me.. I need arrows pointing to the parts mentioned or at least a video... Here's a short clip from MG...

Bless his heart...I miss him.

One thing to be aware of is that there is a pin (very small) on the transmission side of the shaft you have to depress to release it.  Damnably easy to lose that in the process of removing everything.  Don't ask me how I know this.

That's exactly the point I was making deb.. Following someone's uninterrupted tutorial footage of doing a task, whether it be sorting a problem on my iphone, or replacing a part on the bike.. I've always found video tutorials so much easier to follow than a step by step picture guide.
That's why I thought I'd ask if anyone was planning on doing that job in the near future if they could talk us through the process from start to finish.
That clip is good quality footage, but it's to rushed and skips a bit, and I wouldn't feel confident following that... I need to hear things like.. "Make sure this is lined up!.... Careful these can snap easy!"  and visually shown.
Btw... Hope I'm not coming across too demanding being a newbie to the forum.. I just thought I'd put it too you all as there's a lot of clever sods on ere:) and there's nothing on the net, I'm sure theres a lot of people on here who would benefit from it. Maybe all jobs we tackle, we should film and kinda build up a GTR video library of How To's!!....... Just a thought:)
I've always loved tinkering with every bike I've owned.. I find it helps me build that connection I like to have with my bike.. And I also find it great therapy to de-Stress from the everyday grind.
I much prefer tackling jobs myself than putting my ride in the hands of an unknown in a garage somewhere and then worrying if they've done anything at all or had no respect in handling my pride and joy. I've always felt taking care of basic maintenance myself and the constant valeting that I do, then she will take care of me out on the road. If you don't have that connection with em, what's the point??
Haha hope I don't sound like a nutter

Dibz I fully agree..

If I recall, MG (RIP) made the video shortly after I posted the pics and used the pics as a guide

I might look into doing video guides.  If you really want a video guide I suggest you buy Fred's discs
