Geoff, don't undo the large nut at the bottom of column. Put it back on and tighten.
There are three tubes.
The outer tube is fixed. With the large brass nut at bottom of column.
The two inner tubes, have brass levers on the bottom of them.
Move the two advance and retard levers at the top, and you should see the brass arms at the bottom end move.
If they move it shows the two inner tubes are not seized in the third fixed outer.
From there it's easy, remove both the bottom brass levers. Cut the horn wire. And undo the pinch bolt at the top, it holds the boss on the outer tube. Then everything will wiggle up through the top of the column.
If things don't rotate, then the tubes are seized inside themselves. ALOT trickier.
Tony.
