Hi Edward,
the horn pad just pulls off.....it's hard ..but it finally snaps off sorta.

I 'fixed' one recently on one of my own vans..
or 'extended its life' by rebending the arm that sticks up and rubs on the
horn contact right ..
so the jagged warn part wasn't here anymore ..
but new smooth patch of wider metal rubs on the horn contact ring ...

that got it the horn working in all positions..
and I put some dielectric grease on the metal contact areas.
