at last a question i can answer.
push the horn ring forwards and turn left this will then spring off .the centre nut should come off easily then i usually hit the centre thread with a copper mallet as someone tugs it for me (stop sniggering at the back)...
hope this helps it brings back memories of a 375 convertable i had a few years ago..

*General hint alert* When you're trying to release the wheel off the column it is a good idea to keep the nut on loosely (ie a couple of turns) so that when the wheel suddenly breaks free you don't end up with an impression of the centre boss on your face...  |
