If you do pull the harness out of the stator, I use a rubber stopper to plug
the orifice in the box to keep the lube in the box. When I'm ready to run
the harness back down the stator, I run a fish tape up from the box, tie on
the leads, appropriately staggered to allow for clearance through the
stator, and pull them through. It's messy. Unless you REALLY need to
remove the wheel, just work around it.

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
"unwired" the trafficator and pull the wheel off. Just be sure you note
which wire connects where they came from. I've done this a few times.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] wheel
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.

How much trouble is it to remove the steering wheel on a BJ8? And how much
