    Headlight Switch Removal - '61

    How does one remove the headlight switch knob ('61) so as to remove the switch from the dash? It appears that the knob and shaft are one unit, but I hesitate to tug or turn it too aggressively.

    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

      I believe that all the old chevy headlight switches are the same. If that is the case then there is a spring loaded button on the body of the switch. Push in on it and the knob will pull completely out.

          First pull the shaft out as if you are turning the lights on--then depress the button Bob mentioned, and as you're pushing the button, pull the shaft out the rest of the way and it will come out of the switch.

              I know of that spring loaded button but now I know what it is used for!

              Thanks to both of you for the info. One learns something every day.
