Let M be a 3-connected matroid, and let N be a 3-connected minor of M. A pair {x1,x2}⊆E(M) is N-detachable if one of the matroids M/x1/x2 or M﹨x1﹨x2 is 3-connected and has an N-minor. This is the third and final paper in a series where we prove that if |E(M)|−|E(N)|≥10, then either M has an N-detachable pair after possibly performing a single Δ-Y or Y-Δ exchange, or M is essentially N with a spike attached. Moreover, we describe the additional structures that arise if we require only that |E(M)|−|E(N)|≥5. |
