1932 Auburn Horn button removal

1932 8 - how is the horn button and surround removed? There is no 'rod' through the column, no controls on the column other than the horn button. Someone told me the horn button bezel unscrews, but on this car it spins freely - not threaded.

There is no clip, clamp, lock or other at the base of the column.

Any help?

Thanks -

Re: 1932 Auburn Horn button removal

I answered my own question - with some help from Walter Pfeiffer and Curt Schulze. The nut had come loose that holds the wheel in place. The nut was also charged with holding fast the threaded drum that the horn button excutcheon screws onto. With a loose steering wheel nut, all innards were free to spin with no unthreading going on.

We had to drill out the horn button to get access to the steering wheel nut and then all could come apart. Now I need a horn button.....

Re: 1932 Auburn Horn button removal

to remove the surround that holds the horn button in place modify an oil filter wrench to fit the outside diameter of the surround.[the collapable type] get a friend to hold it in place,and the surround will easily turn off.
