After putting a lift kit on my Scout and adjusting the toe-in, my steering
wheel was off center. I pulled it, but in order to put it on "straight", I
had to grind a notch in the horn plate a little longer. Worked fine, works
fine. Not a very big deal. Felt a lot better.

Reminds me that someone on the digest said that to start pulling their
steering wheel, they tried to unscrew the phony hex head screws on the horn
button. Don't do that.
