Drive shaft spline lube

Just got done doing one of mine, with Caterpillar copper based never seize. And it is a slight ***** getting the splines lined up on the go back together. I'd read about using string, but wound up wadding up the end of the string enough to push under the spline shaft, and after some wiggling and cussing, got her engaged, then was able to pull the string wad out.
