Hi Howard,

So how can I "easily" remove the plastic emblem on the steering wheel on my '54....I don't want to break anything!

Thanx,

Les

On 48-54 emblems you push down in the emblem center with the palm of your hand and while emblem is held down turn slightly to the left or counterclockwise direction. If all is well it will free and pop up a bit so you can remove it. However, there is a sponge rubber pad under the emblem that should allow the compression and rotation but if the car has sat for long periods exposed to the hot sun or had other issues work on the sponge rubber there is a chance the pad has hardened or worse, turned into a gummy glue like mess. If either has happened then you will need to use your best judgement as to how to proceed and free the foam to allow the emblem to compress and turn.

Les - Horn button, ring, and steering wheel removal can be seen in the video below, at 5:57. As Howard said the button just pops off with an easy turn.

Thanx Howard & Kevin,

I'm looking forward to something easy.

Thanx again, Les
