How do I remove the horn button and light switch on a 30 A?

Put a yardstick through the steering wheel to keep downward pressure on the horn rod. Unsnap the bail wire off the switch and pull the switch off. press upward on the spider and remove the C clip, then the spider and spring will come off. Now you can slide the horn rod out of the steering column, if you have the top down on an open car. Everything else will need the steering to be lowered or removed.
Disconnect the battery first of course.

29 Fordor, column out of car , replaced horn rod wire, wheel back on , lubricated top bushing under horn button on reassembly. Spider , spring and clip assembled , Question is , is it normal for light switch lever to follow on times the steering wheel when rotating? This never done this before , just wondering if its because column is not in car with bottom section of light switch installed. any ...04-06-2018, 04:42 PM -
Good morning Guys. Is there any way to measure the length of the horn/light switch rod with it still assembled in the car? I am working on my 31 coupe. The steering box has some play in it and leaks at the sector shaft. I do have a rebuilt box and steering column in my parts. They are both two tooth Gemmers. The only difference that I see is at the top where the spark and throttle levers...12-06-2018, 09:12 AM -
How far does the switch go up into the steering column housing where horn rod is? Does it go flush? This repo is tight!! I think it needs to go further. How will I know the tabs on the spider are in well enough? I have horn at 6 o/clock08-01-2017, 09:40 PM -
So if I am putting the horn rode back together and get to the “c” clip and it doesn’t really stay clipped does that mean I need a new rode? Bc it’s wore out ?...11-14-2019, 06:32 PM -
Howdy All...i was playing around with the horn rod down by the spider .....i understand you are supposed to push it up and remove the retainer (im replacing the horn wire and putting in the long no leak tube as well) everything i have read said its a bitch to compress the spring. When i push up on the spider the whole rod moves is this correct????? and there isnt really any spring resistance, it seems...03-29-2018, 01:52 PM -

My horn has not been sounding too good lately so I took it off to check it out. I took it apart and everything looked good so put it back together. I tested it directly to the battery and it sounded great. But when I hooked it up to the wires and pushed the horn button it didn't sound so good. Like it wasn't getting enough juice. Do you think my problem is where the horn rod makes contact in the light...06-04-2017, 02:06 PM -
I have run into another "issue" with the A, I turn on the headlights and first time I make a turn the switch moves to the off position with the turning of the wheel. Does not move from off with additional turns though. Thinking there is some kind of bushing of something that may just need lubrication. Is there any adjustment here, of should I just try to get some light oil around the...11-09-2019, 06:53 AM -
OK, not a show stopper question but just a minor annoyance. I suspect a poor ground, probably too much paint in places where it should not be because all the wiring was replaced and the horn blows fine when it gets enough juice. Will a horn relay fix this? Yeah, I know it's a band aid approach.........02-19-2018, 10:07 AM -

Thanks.
