Default Horn doesnt work with steeringwheel in center position

My horn only sound when turning the steering wheel 10 degrees both sides. I have searched the forum a bit, and found out that it may be a faulty clock spring. Is there anybody who has an exploded view of the clock spring in the steering column? And when you remove the airbag, is it sufficent to just pull the fuse? I do not want to set the airbag off when I remove it.
Thanks!

it might not necessarily be the clock spring, theres actually a horn pad thing in there. i dont really know the name of it but its basically a piece that goes behind the clock spring that the horn contacts on. ive ran into this problem with chevy vans but never on a s10 so no idea whats back there
