Steering coupler question

I just found a thread from 2009. That explains it fairly well. My column when I took it out didn’t have the small dowel pin that I could find either. Of course when I pulled it out everything went apart. My next question is when you put it all back together, do you need to pack the box with grease for the coupler?
Or just make sure everything is lubed well. Is red bearing grease OK.
