Default 5D M2 - Reassign Aperture Control Wheel

Is it possible to reassign the aperture control to another button on the 5D when in M mode? I am used to the 7D - and you can actually use the AE / * button to control the aperture while shooting in M mode, as well as the rear wheel. On the 5D - it seems the only option for aperture control is the rear wheel.

I'm left eye dominant so my nose and face are very close to the rear wheel - I end up picking my nose with my thumb when changing aperture.

Dug through the manual and can't seem to find anything that will allow this change. I know with the 7D there is a complete button customization control - but that option is not found in the 5d.

So sad!

Had a good look around my 5D MKII, doesn't look like it's possible - maybe that's a new feature when the 7D was launched and may be on the 5D MKIII. You'll just have to cary on picking your nose
