Steering Wheel Cap removal

Hey guys, I just got a steering column for my 71 project; however, in order to fully rebuild the column I need to know how to remove the steering wheel cap. Here's the steering wheel and cap hanging in place.

Steering wheel and the cap that I need to remove.

Do I just twist the cap one way or the other? Or is there another way? I don't want to destroy the cap as I'd like to reuse it after I get a re-pop steering wheel.

Been a while, but as I recall you press the horn button down and twist. It should pop loose.
