remove the horn rod from the column. look on the back side of the top, there is four prongs that are bent over. straighten them out and remove the ring that holds the horn button.

It would be nice if the vendors sold a replacement for that 4 prong cap that holds the horn button on.
$30 or so for the "horn button repair kit" is a bit much when only one part is required.
3 of the 4 tabs broke off on the one I recently worked on, so I soldered it back in place.
