Do I really need to remove my steering wheel?

[C64]

My indicator switch on my Vauxhall Zafira is faulty, I had a glance at the Haynes manual and ot says I need to remove the steering wheel!

Is this really needed, can't I just unscrew the casing and remove the switch?

it slips in from the side m8 2 minutes . no need to remove the wheel .. the manual says remove battery to take the wheels off

[C64]

Any idea how to remove the steering column casing mate?

I can see one screwhole on the underside but I'm not sure if it really is a screwhole, it doesn't feel like a screw to be honest.

if u turn the wheel u will see two caps in the front . remove them and theres 2 screws under them m8

Awesome mate, what is the 2nd picture?

lookin up from the pedals m8

What are those scary holes mate?

Look like Torx?

Do those need to come out?

Sorry for all the questions,

[smirnoff_rules]

the screw r out in that picture . l think in the newer cars theres torques . same as the ones holdin in the xbox360 x clamps

Hmm, I've just had a look at my car, I only have 1 hole under there and it seems to be a single Torx, time to get my 360 kit out

Thank for your help mate, much appreciated

BTW, I tried to give u rep but I've already rep'ed u too much and it won't allow any more,

Went out and stripped it all down, my model was essentially the same but with less screws on the underside. I removed the switch and had a play with it deffo seems like the internal workings are worn out. A quick trip to the local breakers yard will soon sort that out.

Gotta laugh at that ~~~~ing Haynes Manual, "remove earth lead from battery, remove steering wheel......", load of bollocks!

Thanks again mate!

Just letting you know that I got one from a local scap yard for a fiver and everything went well, my problem has gone.

Thanks again mate.

glad u got it sorted m8 .. 5 quid .. not even a gallon of fuel

The car I took it out looked like it had taken a nasty beating, I hope no-one died in it, both front airbags had deployed and the engine was practically sitting on the front seats!

Do you think my car will be haunted now?
