How do you access the nut under the horn button cup for tightening once its installed in the wheel and column shaft? Does the bakelite horn button have to be dissassembled from the cup to access the nut for tightening? Possible to get a nut that size, tighten it down then remove and install the nut/horn button assembly? Taking the bakelite button off looks like it could be easily damaged so I would like to try not to disassemble?

Separate the cup from the lower bolt.
Also, I have had several banjos with a key slot cut....ya think.

Ok, I tried separating but it wasn't cooperating, I'll give it a little more muscle power. I have a machinist friend and thinking I may have a key slot cut. I think Packard should have had a recall on this...ha ha!
