Re: 1942 "160" HORN RING REMOVAL

I believe but will not swear to it that the 42 models all used a similar wheel to the 46-7 models. If that is so look at the rear of the wheel and see if there are 3 small holes in the plastic hub for screws that thread into the horn ring from the back side. If you find some then removing them will let the ring come free. The emblem parts in those wheels are held by a chrome retaining piece with tabs that fit into slots in the horn ring and then bent over.

If you have the deluxe or banjo type wheel with a metal hub, when removing the screws make sure you account for the plastic insulating spacers in the holes as well as a paper insulating gasket on the horn ring side.

Here is a breakdown of the 46-7 wheel.
