you can do it yourself.

you do need a puller.

not a lot of money.

get a manual to do this or do a search on clockspring.

Is your horn still broken? Did you try using your finger?

Are clocksprings alot of money?

sorry for all the questions
It's a simple job. The clockspring is encased in a plastic housing so you don't need to worry about it flying apart. As noted above, disconnect the battery; remove the air bag; remove the steering wheel; remove the clock spring. Install in reverse.

You can borrow a wheel puller from Autozone and I think the clock spring cost me around $100 (not too sure since it's been a while...)

There are more indepth instructions on this site, just do a search on clockspring.
