Steering Wheel Backing Removal?
How do you get it off? I removed the horn ring and everything, but can't figure out how to get that backing off. I got a nice condition steering wheel today that I can use with the old backing, and wanted to make a Frankenstein. Thanks in advance!

Here's the photos. The horn contact ring has been removed. I want to get the plastic part off, and put it on the new wheel. The red wheel was off a 74 Cougar XR7, and I found a good condition stock dent wheel that had a crappy backing. I want to swap them over. How do I get that sucker apart?

That's a shame. The steering wheel is practically mint, but the backing is disintegrating.

What is wrong with it? Backings rarely go bad. A little rusty, but a steel wool pad will take care of that.

The plastic is falling apart in chunks. The steering wheel is in great shape though!
