Correction: Now that I've thought about it, you don't have to remove the
stator; just disconnect the harness in front of the box and draw it out.
Still a hassle getting it back in.

<div> The wheel is a piece of cake (single large snap
ring). The trafficator, which has to be removed first,
is a real PITA. The usual 'technique' is to disconnect
the trafficator harness at the front of the car,and pull
the movable part out. But, it's possible, if you have
enough slack in the harness, to pull the top part of the
stator tube out and disconnect the wiring at the hub
(take lots of photos). All things considered, I think
Plan A is the least hassle; drain the steering box first
(you'll lose most of the fluid anyway when you loosen
the olive). Plan B involves messing with a lot of small,
non-standard screws, which have a tendency to evaporate.<br
