Asking for comments on removing the original switch. How do I remove the push/pull shaft with the knob on it? Anything else that I need to avoid doing? Thank you.

Not sure about the 41 but on a 50 there is a small button as the rear of the assembly that you press to release the shaft with the knob on. Just a guess but might be the same.

41 has a small hole in the case of the switch, push a small pin into it to remove knob

Removal: Make sure that the head-lamp switch knob is all the way in. Disconnect the battery ground strap. Insert a very small thin screwdriver in the slot in the switch, and twist the screwdriver to compress the spring. This slot is on the top of the switch and cannot be seen. It must be located with the fingers. While holding the spring compressed, turn the head-lamp switch knob 1/4 turn to the left, and remove the knob and the insert from the switch. Remove the nut which holds the switch to the instrument panel, and push the switch out of the panel. Disconnect the switch wires at the bullet connectors. Good luck Fred Killian
