Horn button removal (1973)? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anybody KNOW how to remove this GMC horn button without breaking off the tabs, that secure it? Near as I can tell there is no way to get behind it? My guess is I need to poke a screwdriver in the side to pop it off?

I removed my 74 Chevrolet horn button using a hooked dental pick. It should pop out without too much difficulty. Just do not force it out hard, unless your replacing it?

Yep it popped right off with little or no trouble. Better design than many others I have attempted to pull off.

Thanks Everybody!

Those buttons ARE designed to come off without breaking. Of course, with the plastic nearing 50 years old, there is always a risk even with gentle prying. Yes, they just pry off. I have used screwdrivers. If you care about the wheel, might try a putty knife to spread out the pressure.

My problem hasn't been getting the buttons off. Its the parts under the button that are often very fragile, or rusty.
