Think about that...I highly advise NOT moving the steering wheel as it will throw out the turn signal canceling position and you’ll be lucky to get the steering wheel off again ever!
If you only have one adjustment that effects toe then I would be looking at worn out springs, front end bushings and bent steering linkages before band aid fixing.
The turn signal cancelling position IS currently off. The steering column, and it's part of the turn signal switch/cancelling... Is where it is supposed to be. But the steering wheel is canted. It is not where it is supposed to be.
If you put the steering wheel where it is supposed to be, you'll be FIXING the turn signal cancelling. Not throwing it out.
As for getting it off again... You are correct. IF what you do is to just pound the wheel back on, where you want it.
The flat spot that matters is on the steering shaft. That will not allow the splines of the wheel to slide easily over it.
But the corresponding space in the wheel is just an empty space. It doesn't care if it has a flat, or splines below it. It will easily go anywhere at all on the shaft.
Use a dremel to cut the right grooves in the flat spot on the steering shaft. Then the wheel will slip on, at whatever position you want it, and will pull back off as easily as it did in the first place. (I've actually done this before.)
On edit: My brother fixed one by getting out the round file, and hogging out the splines inside the wheel in the right place. (He didn't have the patience for the dremel. ) Creating a new blank spot in the splines in the right place. Yeah, it worked.
If you do this, make some marks on the wheel and the shaft so you can get it back together correctly, if you fix the real problem.
