Steering Column Entry
Since it's two-for-one day, I figured I might as well ask another elementary question.
The turning signals on my '76 F250 don't work. I'm convinced that it's the signal switch itself, as the hazards work just fine.
So, how do I get into the steering column to get to the switch? Any recommendations on things that I could easily break getting in there?
Thanks once again.

Have you checked the fuse and the t/s flasher unit under the dash?
If yes, then remove the 2 phillips screws on the back side of the steering column to remove the horn pad. The horn is ether a white plug in or a 2 spade elec connector.
Then remove the steering wheel with a steering wheel puller. Do not have one, go rent one at the parts store. It NOT a hammer/pry off item.....
You will see the t/s switch after that, look for broken and or corroded wires and or contacts.
