How do you remove the 37 Deluxe Horn Button in order to tighten the steering wheel nut? I also need to realign the normal lightswitch position. See backstory if needed. H Rolled over pkg lot bump and my steering wheel came out about 1/4" (bouncy seat), leaving a gap to the headlight ring where I can see the large nut inside. When the steering wheel came up, it disconnected my headlights and horn at the same time. I was able to put a few turns on the nut (with a small screwdriver) and the gap lessened to about an 1/8" and the horn and headlights now work again. Trouble is the light switch is 180 degrees out of where it was when it operated normally. Thank you Dennis A. Murphy

Dennis, there is not enough room in a closed car to remove the horn button and rod without dropping the steering column from the dash. However, it sounds like you may be missing the retaining ring (B-3644) that holds the spring and spider (B-3643) on the end of the horn rod. Try pulling up on the horn rod to see if it comes out some. You should be able to tighten the steering wheel nut without completely removing the rod. You should also remove the light switch from the bottom of the steering box to see if the retaining parts are laying loose in the switch. Be careful not to bend the horn rod. The nut that holds the steering wheel on is 15/16". This message was edited by zeke3 on 11-10-21 @ 6:45 PM
