    changing steering wheel tips needed

    I need to change the steering wheel on our Pepsi truck ... Should I have some other parts on hand for the light switch and horn rod or does this come apart fairly easily? As far as I can tell this assembly has not been apart for at least 35 years .. Any advise would be appreciated
