Default Steering column squeaks while tilting down

The steering column on my 55k mile 2007 RX is now squeaking when it tilts down. It likely just needs some lubrication, but I can't find a way to do it (and I don't want to take apart something I can't put back together).

Is there an easy way to do this?

Or, will Lexus charge me an hour's worth of labor to do this if I get my next oil change from them?

Default

they'll prolly charge you depending on how hard it is to gain access or if it's possible at all to lube it. I had my autotilt feature disabled at Lexus so it wont break/squeek after a few years of auto tilting up and down when i take key in and out. And i dont need the feature and find it kinda annoying actually haha.
