Andy,
To get the control head off, you must undo the compression fitting nut on the
front
side of the steering box. The wires run from this fitting up to the harness
and can
be disconnected at the bullet connectors. Slide the whole tube up and out. Be
careful, it is quite long and fairly fragile. Use a piece of coathanger-type
wire to
guide the electrical wires back down through the steering box on re-assembly.
Good luck!
