My steering wheel is not in line. Trying to remove it but can not get the horn button off. Can anyone help me on a 79?

Jim's right! It should just be held on with spring clips.

Hi 79

May not be the wheel, may be the steering shaft. Check out Jim Shea's papers on the subject at:

or wheel centering at:

The problem is not likely to be the wheel itself. Sounds like the alignment shop did not center the steering wheel last time she was in for alignment.
