The graphite oil is so fluid that you can disconnect the cable from the back of the speedometer under the dash, hold the connection "cup" upright, and squirt the whole container in there slowly. Or, you can pull the inside cable clear out of the housing from that end and squirt it in fast then quickly put the cable back in. No need to disconnect the end on the torque tube.
If you're going to put some kind of thicker grease on the cable it has to be pulled out, grease applied, and put back in. But, apparently, that's not recommended as it would cause too much friction in cold weather driving.
