<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">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!))

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 clear="none">

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.<br clear="none">
