[Healeys] wheel

I have to agree with Bob.   You say you want the steering wheel out of the way.  Well I can't imagine that a steering wheel out of your way could make any task so easy that it is worth pulling the steering wheel (and traficator!))Keith

 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.
 
 Possibly the hardest part (Plan A) is feeding the harness wires back through the lower portion of the stator tube to replace the wheel/hub.

How much trouble is it to remove the steering wheel on a BJ8?  And how much trouble to put it back?  I just want it out of the way temporarily.
