The wheel is a piece of cake (single large snap ring). The trafficator,
which has to be removed first, is a real PITA. The usual 'technique' is
to disconnect the trafficator harness at the front of the car,and pull
the movable part out. But, it's possible, if you have enough slack in
the harness, to pull the top part of the stator tube out and disconnect
the wiring at the hub (take lots of photos). All things considered, I
think Plan A is the least hassle; drain the steering box first (you'll
lose most of the fluid anyway when you loosen the olive). Plan B
involves messing with a lot of small, non-standard screws, which have a
tendency to evaporate.
Possibly the hardest part (Plan A) is feeding the harness wires back
through the lower portion of the stator tube to replace the wheel/hub.
