With the tumble removed, the switch assembly is removed from under the dash. It's not difficult, but it's very tight and having small hands helps. Plaan on spending half an hour upside down with your head under the dash.
I found that the smallest of the eye glasses screwdrives work best. No paperclip I found would fit.
