Somehow, you've partially disassembled the trafficator in situ. Never seen that done.
Anyway, I've only done adjustable steering wheels. There should be 2 small set (aka 'grub') screws on the backside of the hub. Remove these. For an adjustable, remove the brass not on the end of the steering box--have rags or a pan ready because you'll lose some/all of the steering box's oil--then disconnect the wiring. Bundle the wiring with some tape then gently pull the trafficator out from the cockpit.
If it's not adjustable, you probably have to remove the stator tube after removing the brass nut and olive (but you won't have to pull the wires through).
Once you've removed the trafficator, it will be clear what you need to do. The adjustable hubs have a circlip, I believe the non-adjustable have a big nut that has to be removed. Then, the wheel should slide rearward, unless the splines are gunked-up or rusty. Then, penetrating oil, soaking and some gentle persuasion should do it.

Hello
The picture is my steering wheel.
Direction Indicator is unloaded.
In the middle of a visible part of the black I do not get nothing out of it.
Screws that can not be found.
Hello again...
I looked at pictures.
Could it be possible for someone to earlier
owner has built the wrong direction of turn indicator.

OK, I'm confused. What are you trying to remove (the steering wheel is already off)?
Are you trying to get the trafficator (turn indicator) mechanism out? If so, and it's a non-adjustable steering wheel hub you have to remove the brass nut and olive on the steering box, then pull the trafficator out with stator tube. On an adjustable, the trafficator mechanism is on a separate shaft and you can just pull the wires through the stator tube.
The steering wheel hub--the outer part--is held on with either a circlip (adjustable) or nut (non-adjustable). Once the trafficator is out you'll see one or the other.
Your trafficator looks correct. The photo shows the base of the trafficator, where the indicator lever and the canceling mechanism mount. Be carful with it--it's next-to-impossible to find NOS and the repros aren't very good.

Look at the picture on the site of Moss USA; https://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=28891 Numbers 38 and 39
Both are near the radiator in front of the engine.
The part you try to take out is held bij two screws from the back. (see the link to www.healey6.com on pictures 5 and 6) So you have to take the complete part out to be able to loosten those screws.
Taking apart is no rocketsience, putting it back sometimes is
