Anything can be fixed. I remember a very hot summer afternoon where i
patiently repaired a spring contact in this assembly.
I managed to drill out the hole in the 3 or 4 tiny blades and reassemble
on the plasitc console with a little bolt and a couple of nuts. It has
worked fine for the last six years or so.

Remove the steering wheel. You should then be able to lift the cylinder with the raise over the column and turn it 180 degrees. The two spikes on top of it fits in two holes in the back of the steering wheel.
If neither of these two positions cancels at resonable and even positions, the whole steering linkage may be misaligned. The rod from the housing to the relay can be extended/retracted and the steering rod from the relay to the wheel should then be adjusted to compensate.
An uneven cancelling of signals can be an indication of the steering wearing out away from center position in the housing and/or the relay, which can later result in two diffrent "feels" from sharp left to sharp right (stubborn to turn in one direction and eager to turn in the other directon).
My canceling bits on the console was always gone on the left side. I just turn it off manually. It's a habit and i do it without thinking about it.
