The horn pad lifts off, it's a tight fit but it comes off

The sides aren't connected to anything, only the top and bottom, I'll find some pics I have of my old one so you can see.

The grinding will be the clock spring contacts worn out.

[humour]So you fixed it BOSXR8? I was going to say, you just bring that naughty steering wheel to Papa Smurf and I will get that pesky thing off and give you one that is easier to take off, I will even get rid of that naughty wheel for ya?

The clock spring will allow for items that require more than 1 wire running to the steering wheel to turn with the steering wheel without pulling the wires loose. On the EB/ED, it would be wiring for cruise control. On newer cars, it can cover items like bluetooth switches, audio controls, headlight switches, steering wheel shift buttons etc.

Those C shaped pads are part of the horn pad. There is about 3-5 mm of the pad that covers the back of the spokes all around
