Turn button part clock wise while holding wheel steady, there is a wire that plugs into this part, so unplug it when you get button loose. Pretty big nut, more than 21mm I think.

if anyone is interested, the horn button gets turned counter clock wise to remove it, I almost tore it off turning it clockwise...just for future reference.

You can also use a 1 1/16" socket to remove the large nut. Note the position of the horn button wire connector tang that you disconnect when removing the horn button. That is the same steering wheel position it should be located when sitting steering wheel back unto the splined shaft when reinstalled. Don't forget the rubber cover that fits over the 1 1/16" nut when reinstalling. If you are also removing the wiper and directional signal assembly handle it very carefully or you will break it.

I am almost certain you can use all years steering wheels on the splined column shaft...but beyond that no all year cross related changeouts such as the ignition switch portion.
