I did some experimenting along these lines with my old unit which is detailed in this thread.

This was done with the unit out of the car, I can't visualise if it would be possible to drill a hole in the blocking plate to permit spraying oil in while it is still installed. If you do drill a hole do it somewhere around the edge where the spring won't be compromised.
