This is from memory but here goes:
center the original steering wheel
remove horn pad, nut and washer
re-center wheel before removing from spline
tape the 2 wires so they can be handled without shock
put new wheel on (centered)
install washer then nut and tighten
intall silver horn ring with spade for wire at 12:00
you will have 3 screws to secure it...pay attention now!
2 of these screws will have a rubber washer on them
1 screw will not...this is the grounding screw
tighten these screws just snuggly then back off a little on the one without the washer
use needle nose to fish out the 2 wires and connect them
I don't think it matters which one goes where, but if I have a chance, I'll pull the pad off and check for you
now push the pad on and you are done

The biggest problem is that most people over tighten the 3 screws on the horn ring causing the horn to either stay on or not work at all. The one screw without the rubber wahser "makes" the contact when you push the ring in...so does the needle nose pliers when you are holding the wire and touching it against the spade connector.

Hope that helps--it only takes about 15 minutes and you do not have to disconnect the battery. Just remember the game "operation" and don't touch the metal ring
