Bump for an old thread that helped me out today. I was under the impression I could do this without taking anything apart. There may be some way of contorting and getting 3 tools in position to separate the OD switch halves. I couldn't do it, so I found the above thread and went nuts. Good info here, and thanks to those that came before me and figured this crap out.
