Steering column ?

If anyone has changed their columns out, how do you get the wireing harnesses out from just behind the steering wheel just in front of the star head bolt? One is for the turn signal and I'm not sure what the other one is for.

I think I started pulling the column off before I unhooked the wiring to get me the extra space. I don't really remember, but I had my column totally out.

Did you cut any wires? Mine is all but out. Hangin on one of the nuts by a few threads I tried undoing it all the way but I can't get the 2 clips to back all the way out.

No, I didn't cut any wires. I wish I remembered. I would have to see a picture or something to jog my memory.

You need to host it on photobucket or a similar site and then post the URL here.

All right figured it out. Have to unscrew and take the turn signal off. How do you get the piece in the back to come off? I got the circle piece that slides off the nipple thing but how do you slide the other part off that is on the same cable? Looks like a square plastic piece.
