Re: yes there are stupied questions

Seems to me that there is a release button on the back of the switch and the whole rod comes out. Been about 8 yrs since i have messed with it though.

yes there is a release button on the actual switch, push it down and the plastic handle and the rod slide right out.

Re: yes there are stupied questions

More detail...

Pull the lights switch on, then depress the button, and pull the knob and shaft out. You can't just push the button and pull.

GMC Pauls web-site has a nice write-up in his tips section.
You will find it about half-way down the page.
While you are there check out the great stuff you can get from one of the supporting vendors.

Re: yes there are stupied questions

I never pushed a button to get mine off. I did kinda a pull twist thing and it came off. Then when you unplug the wires to it the lights go out.
