Subject: Channelock pliers + switch + twist = easy removal Author: Mgood : 1075 posts Posted on: 2009-02-28 00:56:36

No need to keep the old one intact. I read somewhere about this trick, after replacing one. It took about thirty minutes to remove the old switch (without damage) and about thirty seconds to replace the new one.

Just make sure you dont have any wires pinched in with the grip of the pliers, and give it a twist. The old switch will break and pop right out. Plus, it will give you a bit of satisfaction.
