Hi all:

Nothing looks worse than when someone tries to remove these switcthes using pliers.

Disconnect the battery and pull the switch to headlight position. You will notice that the knob base is a set screw with recess tabs on either side of the shaft.

You can make a spanner to fit these tabs from a piece of flat steel. If you want to be really fancy you can have the steel case hardened at a machine shop.

You can also modify a pair of 90 degree snap ring pliers as well.
