rearview Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Does the steering wheel center and horn ring just pop off? I've got a new one coming, but still don't want to totally destroy my old one in the removal process. Thanks, Bob Quote
Young Ed Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 This for your 51-52? The 51-52 plymouths you push down and twist I believe counter clockwise. Anyway try both directions. That gets the horn button out. The horn ring should have screws after that. Quote
rearview Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Posted January 9, 2007 Yes for my 52. I tried a little tugging last night, but it felt a little solid. I'll give it a whirl later. Thanks Bob Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 is there not screws on the back Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Bob, Don't know about the 50's model steering wheel. However, I would think there would have to be screws holding the horn button on. On the 46-48 the screws are in a deep recess on each side of the back of the steering wheel hub. You have to remove the screws, then the horn button comes off and so will the horn ring. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 I would have to go dig out my column from storage but something in the back of my mind screams 4 little screws holding the coverplate in place... Quote
Young Ed Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 The 49-52 deluxe cars with the horn ring should have a button in the middle that twists out. Then I believe 3 screws under that. The cheaper cars with only a horn button should be like the 46-48s I think with screws from the back. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 I just put my hands on both my 51 and 52 Plymouth steering wheels..both have 4 screws on them that hold the horm button in place...you will look close you will see them form the rear..if not, at least be able to feel them with your finger...these screws enter into the horn button cover as the cover has brass nuts molded within the part.

Young Ed Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Does yours look like this? Or this? One is the cheapy car one which I believe does detach from the back. The other one with the horn ring is the one that I'm 99% sure has the horn button twist to remove with screws below that. Quote
rearview Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Posted January 9, 2007 type A... with the big (broken) ring... although I actually like the look of the other one. I'll look as soon as I'm home from work. Quote
Normspeed Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 That plain wheel is just like my 53 plain wheel. Anyone know, the part that surrounds the horn button looks like bakelite or something. I'd like to strip the old paint off mine. Will paint remover attack that part? Quote
rearview Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Posted January 9, 2007 Center twisted out (with quite a bit of effort) and thereare 3 screws inside for attaching the horn ring. Thnaks all! Bob Quote
