There is a special
socket for removing these senders, but a 1 1/16 “twelve point”
socket will usually do the job. Go to the store and get the new switch, and
ask the man to sell you a socket that will fit it – the old one should be
the same. At Dick Benjamin From: mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Behalf Of Frank Griffin I am close to fixing the problem. I really had two
problems. The brake switch leads had high resistance. The voltage was good
enough to light my test light but the amperage was too low to light the bulbs.
I cut off the oxidized wire ends and soldered new bullet terminals on the clean
wire. When I touched the leads together I had nice bright brake lights which
didn't work before when I shorted the leads. I thought I would be all set after
I hooked up the brake light switch but still no lights. So now I know for sure
I have a bad break light switch. I am having a tough time removing it though.
Is there a special tool for these switches or do I just use some pliers ? I have to agree with Ken I feel your problem is turn switch related. George
