Difficulty removing headlight switch

[modifier999]

I need to remove my headlight switch. I found the plunger on the back and it moves freely. However, when I depress the plunger and pull the knob, the knob doesn't come out. Am I missing something?

Nope, your right. Ijust did mine last week, depress, wiggle and pull!

What I did was disconnected the battery, then I pulled the switch nob to turn headlights on, then depressed the pin and wiggled the button while pulling. It eventually came out after finaggling it a bit.

You do need to twist it a little bit. There are three flat sides on the lever shaft. One has to line up with plunger for the knob and shaft to come out. A little wiggle and twist is all it takes.

Headlights on first
Then press button
Keep pulling the knob and shaft out of the switch.

Thanks. Got it apart. Had to line up a flat on the shaft and it came out.
