   Give it a bang from the back, its just the grooves being stubborn, but dont sit in the seat incase it comes off and whacks you on the napper, talking from experience here lol!

   the big torx bolt holding the wheel in place undo it but not all the way, then just rock the wheel and pull so it comes off the splines, simple honestly
