As far as your comment about reproduction parts, that doesn't seem to be the case of his or my car. We both went through issues with parts that don't fit correctly or the finish isn't right and even coming off. His main goal is to get the steering wheel restored. If anyone saw the interior, you'll understand why. He and I have done many things restoring our cars ourselvesThe cost to pay someone else usually doesn’t make sense to me. Most reproduction parts today are very well made in regards to looking exactly original.
You have to remove the horn ring and other parts on the front of the wheel depending what car you have, might be horn pad or simple cover cap that you twist off with slight movement to left, disconnect the electrical connectors for the horn and center bolt. Remove the plastic horn ring mechanism inside. Pads likely have two screws holding it on from the front (in back of wheel). The wheel is pressed on a spline where you may need to use a small wheel puller. I made one up with a plate with center hole to slip over the center and two outboard threaded holes and insert two bolts to act as the puller keeping even torquing. Be gentle as once you get the wheel moving it should slip out fast unless the spline is rusted if so dab some liquid wrench or similar product around the spline be careful not to get that stuff running off onto other areas you don't want it to drip on. Let that sit awhile before removing the wheel if it looks rusty.A few steering wheel restorers on the web. Not cheap. I need mine done but have no idea how to remove it.
