 First, you have to extract the switch from the housing |
 Remove the top dust cover |
 Now pry loose the switch body by releasing the tabs |
 BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOOSE THE SPRING!! Once seperated you can see the components |
 The black portion of the switch remains connected to the harness. Be sure to clean and lube it with silicone grease |
 This shows the two sections of the switch seperated (sorry for the focus problems) |
 Here you can see the contacts with the springs underneath them |
 This small rod in the bottom of the switch is the secret to how it works, and why it sticks. Clean and lube it with silicone |
 There is a channel in the body of the bottom of the switch that the wire rides in (hard to see here, but trust me, it is there) |
 Also lube the contacts before putting it all back together |
 Here I have the springs and contacts all lubed and back in place |
 Carefully snap the two halves back together, without loosing the spring |
 I also lubricated the slide once I got it back together |
