My guess would be;
1. Remove center padding.
2. Fit 21mm socket (with suitable rachet and accessories) to nut in center.
3. Turn counter clockwise. continue until nut no-longer joins with shaft.
4. Place hands on wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock and while pulling gently rock from left to right.

Replacement is the reverse of removal. Be careful to align new wheel with plastic ring. The ring resets the indicators.

if you are fitting a bosskit you may need to mod the plastic garnish directly behind it. where the boss kit terminates with the ganish there is a petruding beveled plasticy bit which the boss kit will jam into. get some tin snips and cut this beveled edge :)
