Glenn,


One additional 'tool' for that job that I learned about from the Model A guys decades ago is an old fashioned wood yard stick. You insert it into one side of the steering wheel from the bottom up and over the horn button and then down under the other side of the steering wheel. They have just the right amount of flex up and over the horn button to holds the rod in place in its extreme downward position making the removal/insertion of the C-clip that much easier to install.
