As others have already said, use grease. I put it on the shaft, then placed all the needle bearings wondering where the last one had gotten off to (had some spares) then smeared more grease on top. Then be prepared for a couple of miscues as you figure out a technique. I had that problem on the transfer case but got pretty good at it on the second one.
