1997 Nissan Altima Brake Light Switch Sign In
So the spring in the brake light switch needs to be replaced however i cannot seem to be able to fit up in there and get it out. it seems nearly impossible. i checked a haynes repair manual and ofcoarse it gives no good information other than to replace it you must take it out.

the steering column is in the way of getting a good grip on anything. if theres a way to do it without taking that off ill do it myself. if not ill pay someone to do it.

any tips or tricks to getting that out without taking out the steering column or should i just take it to a shop.

Are you sure the sw is bad ? Are the brake lights staying on ? there is a small rubber button that pushes the sw plunger in . it falls out and the sw will not turn off.

OK ,if memory is right . you can remove cotter pin and pull the small rod out of the linkage. This will allow pedal to move back and forth for a little more working room.
