Hi,
Don't know about the "Horn ring" or "wheel nut", but my problem was solved by replacing the "srs cable reel". I think there are some special tools needed to remove the steering wheel. So, I took it to a mechanic who replaced it for around $45. I don't remember he using a new "nut"; at least I didn't bring/bought one. That was almost 7 years ago. Still no problem and car running great @ 220,000mi /with horn ;c)
Hope this helps!
