Hi there,

I think I may need to replace the cancelling cam in my '66 coupe. Is this
something easy to do for someone that has never done it before?

Are you referring to the turn signal switch? It's best to buy a whole new
switch and replace that. Buy the more expensive Ford switch. As I recall
it's around 70 bones. The aftermarket switches seem to be inferior. If you
have some mechanical skill and a steering wheel puller do it yourself.

Yes I am referring to the turn signal switch. I do not have a steering wheel
puller so I may be looking at a mechanic doing it for me instead.

I don't know about where you are, but around here there are several
places to either rent such tools, or even get loaners from places like
Pep Boys, (not sure they are the ones, it may be one of the other
chains... someone else here might know).
