Hello,

Replacing the brake light switch can be done easily by using simple hand tool.
First disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the pushrod retainer from the pedal pin. Should be able to use snap ring pliers.
Remove the brake light switch from the pushrod.
Take off the electrical connector.
