    IIRC mine were a T27?

    Either way, two torx heads on the back of whe wheel at either side. Disconnect the battery before removing it though. Even though the airbag plug is on the end of a length of wire mine unplugged on it's own as I slid the airbag out from the wheel.

    As said 2x screws and lifts off - Note: it's not just a cover ... it is has the airbag and explosives attached to it so be gentle with it and will need unplugging once you've lifted it clear enough from the wheel.

    Possibly yours was a different size because mines a mk1 & yours is a mk2 I may be wrong though.

    Mine wasn't held on with torx, spent ages trying to get them to fit, in the end I tried a 4mm allen key, obviously a previous owner had removed it before.
