Steering wheel horn ring removal and swap

I recently acquired a steering column from what I was told is out of a 65 Barracuda? View attachment 1714686137

I am hoping that the steering wheel from my 66 Dart View attachment DSCN2188.jpg
will have the same horn ring so I can use that and then just find a center cap for the cuda wheel.
I am having trouble removing the horn ring from the 66 wheel. I thought you had to push the center down and turn the ring counterclockwise but its not releasing doing that. What is the correct way to get the ring off?

Thanks
Rodney
