Headlight switch removal. release button not working, 1965 Cuda

If you ever hand to drill out the brads to take the switch off the stem, you would see all this. There's a very thin piece of steel inside with a teardrop or keyhole opening. The tapered point of the stem should guide it right in, so pushing the button at install is not correct. Reason being, without stem in the hole the thing can move farther than it needs to, then forcing the point of the stem against it where its solid distorts the heck out of it. It's serving as the only stop every time the switch is pulled also distorts it over time. Most cases I do find the sweet spot where the stem does come out. The hard way ( my first statement ), I've done once.
