FIRST DISCONNECT THE BATTERY WAIT ABOUT 10 MINS TO DRAIN ANY POWER then you need to remove the screws holding the horn pad in place lift the horn pad and but watch out you don't pull it up to fast because the air bag wires need to be disconnected before you can remove the pad all the way.

Well if you wacked something with the front of the vehicle, then you simply need to fix/replace/adjust whatever you pooched up. Also get it aligned.

It shouldn't be a "trying" thingy, it should be a "doing" thingy

Re-clocking the steering wheel isn't going to solve/fix the pooched front end problem.
