steering wheel misaligned on column

[mterrens]

The steering wheel on my coupe is not aligned correctly. It is set 90 degrees counterclockwise from where it should be. I finally took the wheel off, and discovered that I cannot fix it unless I went even further, and remove and reset the "steering wheel foundation" (item #6 in my picture). See this picture that illustrates my problem. http://www.honda600coupe.com/steering_wheel_issue.jpg
Does the steering wheel foundation just "come off"? And if so, will it let me spin it 90 degrees? Or must I do something even more drastic to get this problem fixed? And I wonder how my steering wheel ended up like this anyway?

Hi Steven;
Removing the three bolts and wheel is normally not necessary. Just bump
the steering wheel from under side or rock the wheel nback and forth to
remove it from the shaft. Then just reseat it. But, my question is why is
your steering wheel like that in the first place?
