Pics ?

30min is still impressive I spent double that time bending screwdrivers !!

In the end I stripped the lower dash and used an 'unbent' conventional screwdriver to pop it out

Had to pop airbag out again to re adjust wheel

With the correct screwdriver had it out in under a minute

6mm tip flaring out to 8mm ...perfect !!
