WC: <VV> Directional Light Mechanism

[Bob & Kathy Gilbert]

Hi Joe,

I did as you described except that on my car it took all of my strength to
pull and hold the shaft. This wasn't the case on my "good car" but it was
certainly the case on the parts car.

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!
