Steering wheel and ring removal for 51 Coronet

[Dan Heston]

I bought a new old stock steering wheel and horn ring for my 51.  How do I get the center emblem out of the horn ring to get started on the removal?

 Not having owned a car like yours, am just guessing here.......look or feel on the back side of the horn ring center, around the center

of the wheel for any recessed holes that may  contain bolts to attach the horn ring from the rear side.

 

If there are no holes/bolts on the back side of the wheel center, then I think there is a method of gently prying out the

horn center.  Hopefully some true experts will add better info.  Do you have a parts or repair manual for your car?

Push down and turn CCW the center horn button.... it should pop up. Yours does too as long as its the stock wheel and horn ring.

There are three "L" tangs that need to be turned CCW...

Would this work for my 1948 Chrysler?  It's got that big chrome semi-circle in the center of the wheel.  Thanks!

The Chrysler center cap can be carefully pried up and off.
