help please - turn signal switch wires

[dcasalena]

Replacing a turn signal switch in a '72 auto w/ tilt column. How do these darn wires come out with the half moon connector on the bottom side, and then the new one thread through? Should something else be removed on the column? And if so, what and how? The collar that the gear indicator was screwed on to seems like it won't come off (but then again everything on this thing has seemed fused in place).

You poke a small piece of metal or stiff wire in the end of the term. The term. & wire should pull out of the connector. After you get them out of the con. tie a piece of mechanics wire to them & pull them out. Then you can pull the new one in with the wire. If the new switch has a connector on it I have cut the wires & spliced them after pulling them through.

ok thanks for the help. Think i'll release the terms from the new connector instead of cut and splice
