WHEW!!! What a task! First I want to thank SLK230RED for the instructions he sent me that got me to this point! And a big thanks to everyone else here and the help you provided!

But now I am at a stopping point! Everything went pretty smooth, relatively speaking, with a few points I had to improvise on. Like grinding down the pin. I didn't have a small grinder so I took a hammer and punch and pounded the the thing with a vengence! It didn't push it down to the point where it would allow the switch to rotate in the tube but the pin was mangled enough so it didn't spin anymore. So I took a drill to it and drilled it out! So far, so good!

But here is now the problem. SInce the key is in the 0 position the connector on the back of the switch is not coming off! THere are 3 screws holding it on and there is not enough room to access the back of it maybe drill through the plastic a bit to get to the screws. So I'm looking for alternatives here!

What if I were to drill along the side of the switch until the screws were exposed? Then hopefully I could pull the switch in two and rotate the connector side enough to drill and expose the heads of the screws and get them out. Of course this would destroy the switch assembly and have metal shavings flying everywhere ( I did put a towel behind the switch and have a good shop vac!)?

So, any other suggestions you may have will, of course, be greatly appriciated! And again, thatks for everyones help here in this forum!
