pull no joke, just get one hand on the top and one hand on the bottom of each and pull and wiggle, only thing with this is, it is extremely difficult to reconnect the connections behind it, the other alternative is to remove the whole airbag/horn section, i should imagine this would make it easier to re-connect the wires, but shouldn't imagine the controlls will remove any easier.

i have piano black controlls to put onto mine in place of the silver ones. had them for a few weeks just don't know when i'm going to tackle them

 

Sorted it now mate. Like you said just yanked the buggers out. Completely fluked getting the connections on. Just aimed at the wires and luckely they went in.

 

tried pulling it off, fook me its on well, can get it off?

 

I found that if you pull the outside edge up and inwards you can then wiggle it out.

 

the side where the wheel is a can even ge close to moving, VX old me £52 to fit them, its more than parts prices! lol so trying to save a few quid.
