<VV> '65 Tele Sport Steering Wheel

[Steve Hammatt, Mount Vernon WA USA]

Undergoing garage rebuild and all my books, etc. are in storage.
Is there any trick to pulling the steering wheel assembly (the turn 
signal stalk is very “wobbley”) for a look-see?  It’s a 1965 factory 
equipped “wood” steering wheel.  Also, the rim is in excellent condition 
expect at the “joint” there’s an 1/8” gap.  How or who to fix this 
gap?
Thanks.
