Well if your talking about removing the steering wheel and adapter, its really straight forward. Pry off the horn button (should pop of pretty easily), this will expose the large nut that holds the adapter on. Remove the nut and with a steering wheel puller, (or large gear puller) pull the adapter and wheel off...

Check on the back of the hub; I think there should be at least one (and
maybe 2 or 3) set screws in the hub that lock the control head to the wheel.

There's a photo at https://is.gd/cF9ux0 that shows the head of the screw
plus another at https://is.gd/j7zogA that shows how the screw comes out
inside the hub.

Ahah!  I see them now.  Three little inset screws.  TOok them out and the control head pulls away.  Tomorrow I'll disconnect the wires, attach them to a steel wire so's to have a way to draw the new wiring harnes through the column, and pull the thing out.  

Thank you, everyone.

Undo the "olive nut" at the end of the steering box at the dirty end.  Then
undo the grub screws at the steering wheel.  Unhook the 4 wires that go
through the steering shaft, somewhere near the horn on the driver side, a
long way from the end of the shaft and the olive nut. 

With help, carefully withdraw the control head from the driver side , it
will come free with the hollow steering tube connected to the control head.
Haven't seen one that isn't seized together yet.    You can do it alone, but
easy with 2 people, the solid part it is 5' long in total, 8' including the
wires with bullets. (+/-)

This will expose the nut holding the wheel onto the steering column.

Undo the nut, then if necessary, apply a puller to extract the wheel from
the column.

Putting back is the reverse.  Although I suggest thoroughly checking the
condition of the wires, and it is a 5# tube with 10# of stuff in it.
