If your hornbag is sitting on the steering wheel your gonna need a new column in your future. Don't know if damage caused by hornbags is covered by warrnaty? What's da back seat for?
RHKTriton wrote:G'day Chaser- just wanted to get the button off as had a cricket when driving on rough surfaces after a column replacement. You can see spring retainers when pulling on the horn/bag button but does get past a certain point.
I gather the clock spring is connected between the wheel and column support.

How does the thing come off? It looks like its retained by spring clips but I don't want to force/break anything.

To remove the horn pad all you need to remove is the 2 x T40 torx screws and the whole horn pad removes effortlessly. Make sure you unplug the horn and airbag connectors via the bottom access panel on the wheel first.
To remove the clock spring you need to remove the steering wheel from the column using a 17mm socket and a wheel puller.
Clock spring is approx $350 from MMA, or $100 from your wrecker (if he has a Triton in the yard whose airbag has gone off, otherwise they try to sell the whole airbag/clock spring assembly together and can ask up to $1100!!)
Cheers
