Stoplight switch, awkward.

[Morris Minor]

Hello, It must help to be double jointed to remove the stoplight switch, If I do get it off it seems to me it will be even more difficult to get it back in place. Any tricks I am missing.
An alternative would be to replace it with another switch, say a motorcycle type one, clamped to the pedal, anyone tried this ?

Thanks Denis.

Problem now solved, I cut away some of the fibrerboard by the foot pedals.
It cannot be seen and it makes access much easier.
