How to replace/ take off steering wheel on 1983 Datsun 720

[derfel89]

Well turn signal does not work and i was wondering if anyone knows how to replace the switch itself. I've gotten the column cover off and taken the steering wheel most of the was off. The only thing stopping me is the base plate of the wheel. Any help appreciated. First vehicle so wanna make sure i get it fixed right,

Haven't done it on the 720 but on most older cars you'd need a steering wheel puller. Free rental at autozone or the like.

Trying to picture exactly what you have done so far. On mine, you basically get the wheel itself off, then there is a large nut to remove the rest. Hopefully that helps in some way.

WEll got the steering wheel off and cleaned and tested the turn signal switch, which works, but the wire to power the TS switch has no power. I've replaced both flashers and all related fuses so it has to the the wire. Anyone else have this problem. Cause i really dont wanna chase the wire through the dash. Can you just do a bypass?? Any help appreciated

You can always bypass it. That's the easiest solution in several cases.
