I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the horn ring with out damaging the ring or the wheel looked at it but it didn't quite figure it out any help appreciated thanks in advance.

P.S. I have the deluxe wheel for 66.

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

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.

OK, I edited my post. Applies to 65 deluxe wheels (the Impala style).

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!!

Eastwood sells a nice kit of epoxy to fix the wheel. Just open the cracks and fill with the epoxy and sand to blend it all. The Eastwood kit includes a small information book to show you how.

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.
