I had to pull the steering wheel anyway. I had to re-do the
turn signal cancelation parts that I fabricated.
A $9 puller from Checker, took about a minute.
Not such good news for the wiper switch, it's
toast. There's one on ebay, but it's 4 days away.
Could I put in a rocker switch temporarily? Is there
a generic type available at NAPA or Checker?
