Pull of the horn pad, (disconnect the battery or plug your ears when you reinstall it!) and turn the little plastic white piston for the horn to get it out - remember how it went in and keep track of that little spring. definitely get a puller tool and just screw the two bolts that come with the tool into the corresponding holes in your column - there may be several different thread types in the puller kit so try a few by hand first. then spin down the center bolt and get it solidly on the hub in the center of your column, then as evenly as possible ratchet the side bolts down until it pops off. you may wish to take a marker before removing it and with a ruler mark the column and wheel exactly where they go together. But if you can live with a slightly offset wheel it doesn't really matter. Then you're done. Removal of the wheel itself from that brace is optional, and as always, installation is the reverse of removal
(really just thread the side bolts (even!) in a bit and and then ratchet the center one.

"Among so many conflicting ideas and so many different perpectives, the honest man is confused and distressed and the skeptic becomes wicked...Since one must take sides, one might as well choose the side that is victorious, the side which devastates, loots, and burns. Considering the alternative, it is better to eat than to be eaten."
