How to do the last 2 quadrages in a 6x6 cube

Below is the left view of the last two quadrages:




And the right view:


We need to swap the right middle green to the left.
And we need to swap the left middle orange to the right.

Make sure the white centre is facing you and do this algorithm :

D* R F' U R' F D'*

D* means rotate the lower 3 layers together.
D'* also means rotate the lower 3 layers together (but opposite direction).

You should get this:




Now you can treat the middle two orange edges as 1 single edge.
So you now have a tredge and you can now solve the tredge using the usual 5x5 algorithm.
The same holds true for the green edges on the left - which is also treated as a single green edge.
