Default Changing Horn button

I am trying to replace my horn button on my 71. How the heck do you get it off the steering wheel?
I figured I'd ask you fellas before I break something!

It just snaps on. Usually, if you use both hands (fingers, anyway), you can pull out on both sides at once and the button will come off. If it is really tight, you can put a screwdriver on each side [in the gap under the button] and gently pry. It should pop off pretty easily.

Thanks, I assume it snaps back in the same manner?

After you get it off you'll see the little prongs that hold it on and you'll know how hard to hit it with your hand to pop it back on.
Regards,
Alan
