Steering wheel puller, these are usually a tight fit I have busted pullers trying to remove that wheel. The lights are a tough one to explain could be dimmer switch or dash switch either one, the 73's were bad about the dimmer not getting ground because of the rust under the switch in the floor boards. As for the signals sounds like a bad blinker ?

I'd start by replacing the battery cables. Get the ground cable with the 10 gauge pigtail. Then use said pigtail to ground the body, the best spot is right AT the voltage regulator. This will ensure a good ground for the lighting system as well. Then move on to other things.
