Headlight Pull Switch Removal

Q: Headlight Pull Switch Removal

Help! I would like some info about how to safely remove the headlight pull switch to replace the bezel on a 1969 bird. Thanx.

A: There is a small button on the side of the switch that releases the knob and arm.

A: There is a button on the side of the switch that faces the door. It is next to impossible to reach from underneath the dash without removing at LEAST the ball vent tube. I took a piece of welding rod and kept bending by trial-an-error until I could slide it through the gap between the dash panel and the windshield pillar (on top) and was able to press the button from the top. Take a flash light and shine through the gap and peek through the bottom of the windshield. You may be able to see it.
