These two pictures show the inside of the light switch and how the button releases the shaft. Should help you get a feel for what’s happening to prevent it from releasing. Some times you have to find the sweet spot where the button is not quite pushed in all the way. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2934212090098611668uCqyRR http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2823523620098611668svjVkt

I agree with Denny. Sometimes you have to wiggle the shaft a little, or push it in slightly to release the latch.

Pull the knob out to the on position first. Sometimes a little WD 40 or equivilent helps.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Thanks George, I forgot to mention that, kinda helps to have the knob pulled out all the way.

Also the shaft on the originals has a flat spot on some years (52 & 50) that I have experience with. Put that flat spot to match the pin and it usually comes out a little easier.
