steering wheel removal

Turned wheel upside down so red stitching is at the bottom, inserted screwdriver and push down on the catch then push down on airbag and lift out, feck all happens!
what am i doing wrong, gonna hacksaw the poxy thing off soon, and yes, i've disconnected the battery, got a nice new Clio wheel to go on if i can get the old one off- HELP

 

tried that Rob, even the big one isn't working

 

Ed did it last time, i might be paying him a visit soon, i'm shit with stuff like this. This car is miles better :rolleyes:

 

if i keep telling myself that i'll believe it sooner or later, catch up soon Rob:cool:
