I have been underneath the car this weekend trying to get the c-clip off. Any secret. Should someone hold the center of the steering to keep the clip from rotating?

I did not pull the can apart. The can slid off together and exposed that top fork/tab. I need to look at the bottom for the other fork. I am not sure if you can see from the underneath of the car.

The entire can slid off. I did not twist it apart. I see where you can do that.

Is the fork you are referring to that silver tab? That moves left to right when turning the headlight switch and stays somewhat centered when in the off position.

I popped the bail off and the entire canister slid off. I am not sure where the c -clip is. Any suggestions to next step is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thank You cas3 for the info. I have attached pics of the gaps in the steering wheel when moving back and forth and also what looks like splines. Thank you for any follow up info.

The steering wheel appears to be loose. I can move the steering wheel up and down on the spline. My understanding is at the bottom of the steering column in the engine compartment, there is a bale to release and then a c-clip? I am trying to get a clear idea of how to get the horn button out. I...
