Can't help with the hood pads but if the horn button set up is the same as a 1930 model then you need to remove the 2 bevel gear segments at the base of the steering column below the steering box and push the centre tubes towards the steering wheel then pull the "plastic" centre plate out enough to expose the underside of the plate That centre "plastic" plate is held in place from its underside by 4 screws. Removing the 4 screws will detach the centre plate and give access to the screw attaching the horn button. Hope that makes sense.

Not a TRICK just a lot of work.

Disconnect battery
Disconnect Horn Wire coming out of Light Switch. Orig there was an inline connector near Switch.
Remove Light Switch
Remove Hand Lever Gear mounted on Steering Box. Ur doing this just to get it away from the action so u dont break it.
Remove the Gear on the Colm Shaft.
Loosen the Clamp at the bottom of the Steering Box
Horn Button & Ring/light Switch Lever/Hand Throttle Lever should be pulled up and out. If inclosed car u can get just enough bow on the tubes to clear the headliner and get it fully out.
Horn Button & Ring r held onto the assy with 4 10-32 bolts. Remove the Hr Bt & Rg Assy from colm assy
HORN BUTTON is bolted to the outer ring via 3 8-32 screws

NOTHING TO IT !!!!!!!!

Tom Wilcox on http://packardpaddock.com/ has several sections devoted to the steering column and his restoration of that area.

Like they say, a picture is worth a 1000 words.
