That's what I'm reading!  I was hoping for something easier.  I'll leave 
it on and just use some magic words.  Thanks to all.

              <div> 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,
