WC: <VV> Directional Light Mechanism

[N. Joseph Potts]

Maybe I'm too late for this time, but once again, I'll post my personal
recipe for getting at that split ring on the LM turn-signal switch without
needing three hands.
     Slide a suitable (9/16") box-end wrench over the steering-wheel shaft.
Then thread the nut onto the end of the shaft. Voila! Now you can pull the
shaft up with one hand and hold it there indefinitely!
