How on earth do I get into a Dyson DCO5 (2)?

This question is related to an earler one on the same subject.

Can you give more help on how to remove the yellow on/off & rewind cable tabs? in order to get at the last two screws. I have gotten inside by pulling off the two wheels as Phil described but it would be a much better solution to do as Gordon says as getting off the wheels demands a lot of unpleasnt force on the yellow plugs that hold them on.

Thanks for that it worked well. Needed some force to pop the wheel off.

With a large Flat bladed screw driver (And I mean Large) stick this between the wheel and the housing, position the flat tip on axel between the wheel and housing and twist and the wheel should just pop off, and hey presto you have access to the star driver screws.
