Tefal 2931 Steam generator - new trigger?

I have a steam tefal 2931 steam generator and the trigger has broken. I've sourced a replacement part but can't see how to open the iron to fit it? There is a specialist screw on the base but I must need a special fitting to open it. Where can i get it and is it difficult to fit?
Thanks,

thanks. used a screwdriver and prized the lid of the handle - no problems.
got the bits from Belstar electrics.
Just waiting delivery now.

u can buy the star allen key from halfords and it is easy to do u undo the special fitting then its a small screw inside u undo that then the top of the iron will come off then u can get at the trigger

you dont need to undo any screws
from past experience ensure iron is unpluged
using a thin screw driver prise the upper layer of the handle off
where did u buy the trigger from?
