Attach a string or wire to the wires you pull through the stator tube. You =
can stagger the wires to aid in sliding them back through. If possible, you=
may be able to just pull the wheel to the side, leaving it connected after=
you get the trafficator off.
I would not mess with the steering box if you don't have to. I have just "u=
nwired" the trafficator and pull the wheel off. Just be sure you note whic=
h wire connects where they came from. I've done this a few times.

The wheel is a piece of cake (single large snap ring). The trafficator, whi=
ch has to be removed first, is a real PITA. The usual 'technique' is to dis=
connect the trafficator harness at the front of the car,and pull the movabl=

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 lea=
st hassle; drain the steering box first (you'll lose most of the fluid anyw=
ay 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 throug=
h the lower portion of the stator tube to replace the wheel/hub.
