Hand, You can remove the horn ring, (pull slowly watch out for spring) Remove the large nut and with a wheel puller (lots of parts houses will let you borrow them) pull the wheel and re-set it. Should take about 30 min.

I hate to state the obvious, but if you're like me ... you don't always think of it. Make sure your wheels are straight before you pull your steering wheel and it might also help to mark 12 o'clock on the column.

Great point Joe, I usually take mine out for a test drive before I button everything up.
