Hello all,

The turn signal arm needed replacing on my 76 TR 6, which sounded simple enough.
The Bentley book says to pull the switch wiring through the steering column and
remove the switch--carefully. The guy who wrote this never did it, I'm
convinced. And, that sounds like the easy part. Threading the new wires through
this column sounds like pushing a wet noodle through the eye of a needle. Have
any of you done this? Do you have any tricks which makes it easier to get the
switch out and the new wires back in(like removing the steering wheel or
ignition key or something else I haven't thought of)?

Second question. The DPO must have tightened the oil pan drain plug with a
hammer wrench. I had to put it on the rack and use a 12" crescent to get it off.
Then, I found the plug to be a pipe plug (no gasket surface) instead of a
typical American type plug with a gasket surface. Which is normal for a TR 6? 

Thanks ahead of time for the timely advice.
Neil
