Default '46 mercury steering wheel trim

Any idea how to remove and replace the 2 stainless trim pieces on the spokes of a '46 Mercury steering wheel so it can be restored?

Good question; they were easy to pop off; but I haven't figured a good way to put them back. Someone once mentioned they r&r'd them; but did not respond to my question of "how'.

I'm thinking of epoxying the spokes and clamping them on between wood blocks....or maybe just get another wheel without the trim - LOL!
