Cheers

And that can be lifted and this reveals 3 screws that attach it to the hub. Just be carefull lifting that so that you can re-use it. I used the tip of a utility knife and lift the edges, full circumfrance to make sure the edges are easier lift.

Double check it, the "seam" may be hard to spot at first glance.
