Front brake light switch disassembling

[romainnorberg]

I'm following up on Rybot's post regarding the front brake switch: https://www.accessnorton.com/NortonCommando/front-brake-switch-question.16660/

Since I disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, and adjusted the front brake, the front brake light comes on quite late (when the lever is almost fully depressed).

How do I remove the switch to try and adjust it? I'm stuck and don't want to force anything (see picture).

Would you advise me to replace it with an alternative? (Like this one: https://www.accessnorton.com/NortonCommando/front-drum-brake-cable-recommendation.34356/#post-560678 )



Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

Those switches are known to produce a very spongy front brake lever, so personally I would replace it with a one piece cable, and do something similar to that post.
