How do I remove the brake light switch?

[ts71281]

Ok I've confirmed that my brake light problem is in the brake light switch in my truck. After managing to fit my 6' 2" 290 body inbetween the seat and the pedals, I'm looking up at the brake light switch and it doesn't look like it's going to be a fun one to take out. Can someone give me some tips or tools that might be used to get this thing out? By the way, I already have the instrument cluster out while I'm repairing my defroster hoses. Should I be getting at the switch coming in from the drivers side kick panel or should I try accessing it coming from the passenger side of the steering column? Any feedback, tips, tool ideas are welcome. Thanks,


Joe
