Quick question about removing steering wheel

[Mor61e]

I've searched as best i can but can't find the answer i'm after 

Now i'm a first timer at stripping a car and i'm stuck here:



How do you move the gold plate to get to the nut?

Probs really simple and stupid but i couldn't get round it  :embarassed:

Pull it/prise the whole plastic bit it out, the lugs push fit in the holes. Ben

use a large flat screw driver and be carefull not to brake it. Then its a 24mm nut ( i think ). mark on the spline when you take the wheel off as it never seems to go back on straight.

I did try that earlier but got worried that i'd break something, shall give it a go tomorrow

I had the same issue with mine, was worried of snapping it!
