Unhappy Steering wheel removal
I am in the process of removing my steering wheel on my early 911
I'm stuck after removing the rubber part of the horn pad. Please help

SPD, then you remove the large nut and lift the wheel off the steering column. Very straight forward process.

Angry still problems
I understand that part. but I can't get the metal part of the horn button off of the wheel to get it out of my way to get to that nut. Do I just pry it off, or is there some other trick?

If it is a 4 spoke wheel, I think you have to rotate the horn button counter clockwise while pushing down slightly on the horn. I believe it is one where there are blades that rotate under a fixed mount.

air impact works best on that center nut -- or else be careful for your windshield.

Thanks very much, I decided to jimmy rig a socket wrench and use a metal broom handle to get the torque that I needed. Beside a few wiring problems (it kept honking), it was fairly easy.

Thanks all for the help
