    Take the the rubber cover off. Look under the brake lever. There is a small holes. Get a little pick or something to get in there to press the little button to pop it out.

    Hope this helps.

    Alright so I got the switch out of the housing, but now I need to remove the 2 wires that connect to the switch from it so I can connect them to the New switch, anyone know how?

    Get a new switch. Or, take the metal band off, work the plastic back so you can see the points where the wires are soldered, and hope you don't break things.......otherwise you'll have a BREAK switch
