horn button removal?!

Now one would normally just assume you pry these off, but what the heck? it wont budge. is there some secret to removing one? Am i just being a sissy girl since i don't want to damage it?


I need to get my steering wheel off to put my new wiper assembly in....

Pull it off carefully, but with some force.

Don't pull from the center, roll it off from the edges. There is a metal backing plate about 1/4" from the edge that you need to roll it off from.

ah, so i was getting the right idea thinking it was needed to be rolled off. i was thinking at first it was just clipped in, but that makes more sense.

Warming it up a little with a blow-dryer will make it more flexible.
