Re: KPack's 1954 Panama

Spending some time in the evenings working on the Panama after the kids go to bed. One of the many things I'm trying to get done is the lighting. I have much of it working, but still need to wrap it up.

I fixed the front parking lights (repair the cut wires). The turn indicators do not work anywhere (front, back, dash indicators), which tells me the problem is probably in the turn signal switch in the steering column. If the switch is anything like the headlight switch in the dash it is probably all corroded and needs a good cleaning. Plus there is some sand that got in there that needs to get cleaned out. And the transmission gear indicator light does not work, so I have to get in there to replace that.

How do I get the steering wheel off? The manual talks about a special puller, but surely there's something more generic I can use?
