Only the adjustable steering column uses a circlip to keep the steering wheel
on. Also, The set (grub) screws are used to seat the trafficator only on
adjustable steering columns.
After removing the trafficator, the only thing holding the steering wheel on a
non-adjustable column is a nut & washer. To remove the wheel from a
non-adjustable column I quote the shop manual, "A sharp jerk should be
sufficient to release the steering wheel." Now all you have to find is a sharp
jerk in your area. I don't qualify on the first count.

Patrick,
There IS a circlip. Go here and look at #16:

G'day
Look it's been 30 years since I put the steering wheel on. You really don't
xpect me to remember do you?
Attempted to remove the steering wheel from the BN3 this arvo. Nothing
pecial, it's a non adjustable steering set up.
Everything undone, nut removed as is the trafficator and stator tube. The
teering wheel is loose and can be moved about 1 centimetre, but stops with
decided clunk as if it's being stopped by a circlip.
I have looked through the archives. Is it a matter of using a bigger hammer?
