How can I strip down my Dyson dc05?

I need to replace the cable rewind mechanism on my Dyson DC05 Motorhead but cannot see how to strip the vacuum body down.

There are 5 star headed screws to remove, one on the top that's visible and 2 behind each wheel.
Just pull the wheels outwards (they'll be a bit stiff ) and they should pop off.
I'm on my 3rd rewind assembly.The missus thinks the cable will reach all around the house without unplugging!
