How do you repair turn indicator and steering wheel lock ?

berthold@domain.elided (olav berthold)  ASKS:

My main problem is that i don't know how to get to the turn indicator switch 
or the ignition lock. This is because the upper part of the steering column 
is a huge piece of casted metal (no plastic !!). It seems that you have to 
remove this piece somehow to do the repairs. I could not figure out how to 
do it.

If someone has any idea how to change the turn indicator switch or how to 
lubricate the mechanical lock for the steering column, i'd be very happy to 
hear about it ! Many thanks in advance.

ANSWER:  The tiun indicator switch is reachable by removing the steering wheel.
To access the top of the steering column you must remove the three bolts that
hold it up to the dash board.  These are accessible by removing the kick panel
under the dash.

Hope this helps
