I rewired my 850 by just removing the battery as Mike S suggests. It's really not that hard. A nut driver came in handy and I found it best to replace 1 wire at a time (the only way I could trust myself to get them all hooked up to the right place). Unless you've sprung for one of those pre-made wiring harnesses. If you take the dash apart you might see other things that could be removed for cleaning/painting then one thing will lead to another and before you know it you've got a pile of parts and a full restoration on your hands when all you wanted to do was replace some wires.

While it might make it easier, it is not necessary. If you take the battery out, it frees up a of lot space for your hands and tools. But if you choose to take the dash off, remember it is 47 years old and, if like mine, those nuts, bolts and screws are rusted solid. Your will also be removing support for the back of the hood, so you might want to take the hood off too. That way you can easily rewire the whole thing and do touch up on the paint in places you normally can't see. Steering wheel: take the nut off, soak the wheel and shaft with screw loose or the equivalent. Put the nut back on, but only screw it down enough to leave 1/4 inch gap from the wheel. Using a gear puller, hook it to the sides of the inner rim and put the center piece on the nut. Tighten it up a little at a time. Every now and then, tap the wheel at the shaft with a hammer. Usually it will come off that way. One guy said he just sat on the tractor seat and pulled it off. Either he was lucky or he looks like Arnie.
