I don't think that the banjo bolt is held in by the side port plug nor is it for a brake light switch. That's there for a brake line fitting with inverted flare in the port.That plug was installed by someone who replaced the brake line that was there with the tee just downstream of the line coming straight out of the master cylinder. This was discussed in THIS THREAD started by jmoore. As far as getting the banjo bolt out of the fitting, the copper washer closest to the master cylinder has extruded into the threads of the bolt and is holding it in place.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
