That is a proper facepalm moment. cos if you can't get them out, it'll be a risky job removing the wheel.
If they really properly won't come out, you're gonna have to get the airbag off using brute force to access the torx bolt. Chair all the way back and reclined as far as it'll go, then pry, lever and pull at the airbag until it comes off. DO NOT use anything more than a hacksaw (at most) to cut it, you'll generate too much heat near a pyrotechnic device.
