I have a rally (or sport) steering wheel I want to remove, but I need to take the horn button off first. How does this come off without breaking it? I've seen a few with broken tabs on the back and want to avoid this. Before trying to yank it off, I thought I'd ask how it's done correctly.

Depends on model and year... Technical Service Manual always has that answer!

I looked at the interior section of the TSM and didn't see anything. It's the three spoke wheel that came on many AMCs and Jeeps (71-74 Javelin, Javelin AMX, Gremlin X, etc.). All I need to know is how to take the horn button off.

I have the rally sport wheel in my 72 Gremlin. My horn button is made of rubber and just pulls off.

I'll follow these lines a little ways more,
Until I can find what I'm looking for. With the pedal to the metal, I'm gaining my speed. Riding down low in my AMC..... |

Just pull it. Watch when reinstalling since it's keyed at the 12:00 position. |

Just be sure it's warm when you do it.
Even rubber can be brittle when it cold soaked.

I used the wife's hair dryer to warm it until soft, was afraid heat gun would be too hot.
