Removal of Brake light switch on a 1996 cheverolet 1500
1. Disconnect negative battery cable
2. Use a snap ring pliers to remove retainer from brake pedal pin.
3. Remove the switch by unsnapping it from the pushrod, and disconnect wiring harness from switch.
Pretty tricky, you first need to get the clip off, then it will come off. if you look close you will see how the clip comes off. its tough, but once you figure it out, you will know more than most other chev owners.

I HAVE DONE THIS. NOT A PICNIC. GET A NEW SWITCH, SO YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR. UNDER THE DASH, & AGAINST THE FIREWALL, THERE IS A FACTORY ROUND RETAINER CLIP THAT IS HARD TO REMOVE. WHEN THAT IS OFF, YOU CAN PULL OUT & PUSH UP & WIGGLE TO GET THE SWITCH OUT & UNPLUG IT. ONCE THE NEW SWITCH IS BACK IN PLACE, A HAIRPIN CLIP FROM THE HARDWARE STORE WILL HOLD THE SWITCH IN PLACE. I HOPE YOU HAVE SMALL HANDS. I DON'T.
