Can anyone tell me how to remove the clutch from the dyson DC04 Pleeease?

I have stripped the vaccum cleaner down but can't remove the clutch assembly to get the new belt on. It looks like I need to remove the yellow control bit but I'm not sure how.

Tricky - with the machine standing upside-down you need to insert a medium flat bladed screwdriver between the clutch knob and the clutch at the 6 oclock position and gently pull the knob (if you pardon the expression)! Hold the er knob then do the same at the 12 oclock position. Hopefully you can remove the knob then the clutch. I don't know why you guys struggle - Dyson have the best repair service - give them a call and they'll sort it.
