take the surround and switches off as one.
Take the philips screws off at the back( the ones that hold the switches to the Surround.)
Pop the buttons off by placing a thing flat screwdriver between the button and the surround,so that the button pops away from the surround.(pop button,then pop the Ribbed dial off).
NOW,the switch will wiggle in the surround and you will go WTF..it's NOT coming out!
BUT if you gently pry between the surround and the switch it will allow the switch to slide out.
It just needs gentle persuasion.Pry and pull..then Voila!
If the switch assembly has a Lever( like the HI/LO beam does) then you will see a small straight set screw in the lever.it holds the HI/Lo switch arm to the shaft of the switch.
Take that off and it is cake to get the assembly out.
