Headlight switch

Dude, yours must be aftermarket? My shift knob is like that but not my light switch. Anyway I got it out...

I was sitting in my recliner with my whittie tighties on with a beer in one hand and the remote in the other. I was flippin through the channels and landed on Days of Thunder. I was sitting there a little upset that my aftermarket gauge cluster didnt fit and now I might have to do work and make my own and this switch. Well right when I was about to take a sip of my third brew, Tom Cruise tells Robert Duvall that he is dropping the hammer. I had the bottle to my mouth where it stayed until the beer ran out the side of my mouth as I stared at the boobtube. Then I got a :sign7:

So I went out to that car and grabbed that switch by its neck. Pulled the rod out all the way and kept pressure on it and hit the spring loaded thing with a hammer. Well after a few wacks it came out. So what did my dumb *** do? I stuck it back in. :sign3: Well same problem and now I didnt have the dash to help me. But I used the hammer again and got it out again, it just took more effort to hold the switch. I think that there is too much spring under the button cuz it takes the force of the hammer to force it down that much more. So I will try to shorten the spring and see.

So thanks all!
