Hello,
I need to replace a failed brake light switch on my 1982 240D. I'm having a heck of a time removing the old broken one (snapped the base clean off the longer threaded part), literally have to bend over backwards to get at it, and there isn't much room for wrenches with the pedals and steering column in the way. Does anyone who's done this before have any tips on how to get the old broken switch out of there? I'm about ready to take a small reciprocating saw to it, but maybe there's a more elegant way. Do I need to do anything special to adjust the new switch before/during installation?



Thanks,
Nate
