Proper removal of brake light switch?

How does one remove the front brakelight switch without tearing it to pieces?

 

NOTE: except on the XJ750 Seca models, the removal of these switches from the master cylinder seems like a trick Chinese puzzle, until you figure it out.....there is small, round hole (about 2mm diameter) on the forward side of the master cylinder housing, where this switch plugs in. Using a small screwdriver or other such object, gently push in through this hole onto the plastic "tooth" that is part of the switch housing, while also pulling back on the switch. Releasing this ratchet tooth will release the switch from the housing, and out it comes!

 

Thanks! I'll try and let you know. It will probably be tomorrow though.

 

i just used the same allen tool i was using to disassemble my carbs to poke thru the bottom...after i nearly tore the wires out of the switch. thank goodness the new master cyl came with a switch
