Default Help with steering wheel controls removal

Anybody ever replace any of the steering wheel controls? I have a 18 and the cruise control switch on the steering wheel is damaged. I have a new one ordered but was not real sure on how the old one comes out. Any advice would help out. Thank you

Disconnect battery, remove airbag, pop the bezel off with a trim tool, the screws holding the controls and the control connectors are on the inside of the wheel.

If I remember correctly, they are very small torx. I don't remember if they have that little pin sticking up in the middle of the torx heads that requires the electronic bits to get them out.
