Just pull it off. If you don't want the horn to blow while you do it, disconnect the battery. If it's rusted in place a screwdriver might be necessary, but I've never seen one I couldn't pull off by hand.

Re: Horn button removal (62fuelie)
My horn doesn't work on my '61 - and I don't have time to wait for my dad's next visit from Kansas to look at it (I need to pass a Tx state inspection) - Any suggestions on what to check before I take it to the shop??

Re: Horn button removal (clcintx)
Could be a LOT of things. First, the horns themselves. You could test them each independently. Then, it could be the horn relay. OR.......it could be the button....and mechanism under the button, and finally the wiring between any of these. The little plunger gizmo under the horn button can break, or wear out. I would first check the wiring coming out of the steering column, and check the spade connectors where they hook into the main harness. Then, I'd check each horn....put 12V positive directly to the lug, leaving the body of the horn grounded to 12V negative. See if they blow directly. Push the horn button and see if the relay "clicks". If it does, you know you're getting power that far. Hope this helps. Chuck
