How does the headlight switch come out of the dash? I am replacing one in the '74 with another headlight switch in a dash I have. Just need steps to remove it so I don't break it. I got the plug in block off, but getting the switch removed is my problemo.

Thanks Much,

Wedge your hand up under the dash
On top of the headlight switch is a little button, about ¼” diameter and high. It is on the opposite side of the wires.
Pull the headlight switch on, press the button in, pull the shaft out.
Once it is out, you can remove the screw in part off the front and the switch will come off the back.

Thanks Broncobowsher! That worked great. How do I get the ignition switch out now??? Need the whole switch part that is in the dash. Seems I can get the thing pushed forward with the spring retainer, but can't get the bezel to turn off of the two nipples. Any hints?
