Just getting at going after stripping down the steering column and reworking it. I think the lower bearing just needs repacking and the signal cancelling piece needs replacing.

I also want to paint the usual top end items. Do these items come off easily or does it involve removing the "dreaded" circlip from the top? I want to try and stay away from the complete dismantle as I have heard it can be a bear.

Any hints etc, tools to have handy and the like...
