Re: How do you remove the horn ring????
There are screws from the back side of the wheel. (edit; that's for a 65 deluxe wheel)

Pull the horn button out of the center (clips hold it in) and then you will see 3 screws inside.

Remove the center portion of the ring (arrow in pic) it just pops off, and there are 3 screws behind it. Those will release the ring.Then pull the wheel and mail it to me.lol

Re: How do you remove the horn ring????
yep, pretty much just whack the center buttonb (with something soft) to knock it loose or "rock" it off to expose the innards. Recommend disconnecting your battery or you'll do what I do to myself everytime I remove a horn ring, accidentally short the thing out and hink the horn right when I least expect it causing me to have to go change my skivvies. Recommend taking the parts out one at a time and placing them "in order" on a towel or something. although it's kinda common sense, this is one of those things that's easy to put back together in the wrong order (if you're just removing the horn ring, not a problem, but I'm more talking about if you remove the whole wheel). Anyway, if your horn doesn't work (or worse yet, won't stop working) when you put it all back together, you'll wish you'd laid things out in order. Now I'VE never done that..... but I'm just sayin.

Re: How do you remove the horn ring????
ok not to hijack, but how would you fix the horn ring if it was broke at the base? and the steering wheel too? (mine is broke in the same place as the close-up pic, and the horn ring is broke right at the base) Thank you!!

The horn ring can be repaired by a good chrome shop. They will strip the chrome and silver solder it before preparing it for new chrome.
