Advice on removing 'Clock Spring'

[CatalystV12V]

As some may have seen I'm having issues with manual shifting in my V12Vs (2014) and I want to remove the paddles.

I've been watching some video's about steering wheel removal and came across this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Yo6DcHWQo
shot at Aston installations.
It mentions the 'clock spring' and implies these can be tricky.

Does anyone have advice as to whether this is a DIY job?

Thanks!

Clock springs are fine so long as:
1) You're aware they are there &
2) You don't go rotating the wheel if you're disconnecting the steering rack. i.e. allowing the steering wheel to rotate beyond its normal range of motion.

So do they just lift off? - I'll try and find an exploded view.

Thanks!

Stick a bit of sticky tape on the clockspring so that it doesn't turn when it's off.
I recently fitted a paddle shift / heated steering wheel to my wifes Range Rover sport and it was a doddle.
