How do you get a 1965 Valiant headlight switch out for replacement. There's a button on it I was thinking you needed to push in, but that doesn't seem to release anything.

TIA

Jim: have you ordered your factory service manual yet?

The button releases the knob.....then you unscrew the switch.

You have to pull the knob out to the full on position then press the button and pull the knob on out. It can sometimes be a little balky but that's how it works.

Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.

Tape a dime to your finger and use it to press the button on the switch. It is kind of hard to press and the dime keeps your finger from getting a drain hole.

That "dime" trick should be in the FSM! I wrapped my finger in about six layers of electrical tape. It still poked me pretty good, but no blood - no foul!

Thank you, all you guys, for your suggestions. With your assurances I got up the nerve to really haul it out of there.

Dimes, tape, whatever. That thing is sure a "bug bear."
