I make a washer out of dense foam to centre the shaft, and just leave it in.

The manual mentions a foam washer that's supposed to already be there,
and that you re supposed to pull towards the back to center the shaft.
****ed if I could find it, fishing around with a straightened coat hanger.
I used a length of thick cardboard folded in half for springiness,
Left it hanging out the end of the tube a bit and pulled it away as the splines engaged the bevel box.

That is the factory workshop manual method. My 2015 Roadster also did not have a foam washer. I made one and used it at 1,500 miles because I was paranoid about dry splines I had read on the forums. It turned out there was enough factory grease on the splines, but it was clear yellow stuff, not Moly.
Last week I cleaned and re-greased both sets of splines (Honda Moly 60) when I changed the rear tire. A piece of stiff wire with a hooked end retrieved the washer, and a pair of needle nose pliers put the washer where I wanted it for re-use. Nice.
The factory manual also specifies the bevel box nut tightening order, and torque steps, very good information to have, and worth the investment, imo.

Silly question: in such cases, how does one go about cleaning the old lubricant ?

Gasmoline will clean most anything!
Rags, kero, and a sticky finger.......................
I use an old toothbrush, wetted with solvent such as brake cleaner, carb cleaner spray, kerosene, gasoline, electrical parts cleaner. Many things will work, use whatever you have handy.
