I got the wheel and the lockplate off and took out the 4 screws that hold the cancelling cam in and I pulled the cam out very carefully because there are lotsa wires connected to that bad boy. Well thats as far as I got before I got frustrated and quit and threw her back together. Maybe I will try again tomorrow since I have the day off!!
On the '87, do what you did before. After you pull the cam loose, look about 3/4 of the way down the column. There is a black wire with, I believe, a flat orange connector about 1/4 inch wide. If you pop that connector loose, you can thread the black wire up through the column. Tie a piece of string to it to it before you pull it through if you need to fish another wire back in. Tie the string to the new wire, and use it to fish the new wire back down the column.

It isn't as hard as it sounds...
