In order to remove the turn signal switch or replace the ignition switch
terminal strip, you must drop the steering column.
Here's how to do it without tears:
Go to a hardware store and get two 8 x 1.25 mm x 40 mm (about 1 ½ inch)
bolts. Longer is better. Do not try this without the 8 x 1.25 mm bolts.
Remove one of the steering column two rear clamp bolts completely. Screw one of
the new long bolts into the hole where you removed the first regular bolt.
Remove the second rear bolt. Screw the second long bolt into the second
hole. Remove the remaining two front bolts (mine are Allen head) and drop the
column down. The long bolts will support the column, but more important,
they will align the column clamp holes when you put the whole thing back in
place with only two hands and limited tolerance for frustration. You will
thank me for this method, believe me.
Have fun,
