I'm trying to get to the turn signal switch on this old Jeep. I think
the method of removing the horn button is to press it in kinda hard and
rotate it ccw to release the catches.

This one doesn't want to release. Can anyone tell me if I'm doing it
right before I increase the torque and break something?

Thanks!

3. Remove the horn button from the steering wheel. Turn the button until the
locktabs on the button align with the notches in the contact cup and pull
upward to remove it. With the sport wheel, just pull the button up.

Autozone.com to the rescue! Whoda thunk?
I have the 'Sport Wheel', so I guess I just haven't been pulling hard
enough. I was worried about breaking the plastic tabs that I guess
aren't even there on this one.

Thanks!

I have a Laredo with the chrome package and my horn button just pulls
off. The steering wheel is chrome with leather on the ring.
