if you really cant do it im near Maidstone a bit of a ride but im happy to do it for you and swop the paddles. alternatively see if you can find a pic of the wheel perhaps on ebay without the airbag and you can see the angle of the clips you have to release. once you do that you can feel them with the screwdriver. just noticed theres a pic on the above thread, print the pic out and look at it while you are getting your airbag off it shows the angle to have the screwdriver, what usually happens is that the screwdriver goes behind the clip. you see what looks like a tube both sides of the wheel at the bottom that's where the screwdriver goes in onto the clip that's the angle you are looking for.

I found using two long thin slot screwdrivers is best. Once through the wholes you have to giggle around the angle a bit until it sits just over the spring push and gently raise airbag. I found it easier doing one side at a time. Takes patience.
