You don't take the wheel off just the air bag. If you have a Haynes manual there are pictures in there. Start by leaving the ignition off for 15 minutes then remove the binnacle around the steering column I think 3 screws. Then if you look at the back of the wheel you will see or feel 3 small holes, you need to gently insert a small flat blade screwdriver in and feel for a spring. As you flick this spring gently ease the airbag away at that point, work your way around the other holes until the airbag lifts away BUT do not force the wiring and support it safely will you do the rest. Now you will see a wire going to a square hole in the steering wheel with a push fit connector on the end, it is this fitting that wears and causes the poor earth. You can either cut it off drill a small hole in the casting and put a ring connector on the wire and attach with a self tapper or some have used a big self tapper in the square hole to jam it in there. The horn should be fine now. Its just a matter of putting it all back together now. Its harder than it sounds look on the other threads and you will see a picture of the 3 springs you need to flick to unlock and it will make sense and will take less time than it has taken me to type this lol.
Are we there yet?????

Air bag removal is easy. Then once removed you can easily access the horn!
