    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Take things apart enough to get to the switch.

    Some vehicles had the safety screws that needed to be drilled out after so many years they tend to all blur together till I see them in person again.

    just a matter of removing the old switch and installing the new one.

    I have been using a screw driver for a few years to work the electrical switch just never installed the new switch

    That's about all that service info gives as well although it does have an exploded view that may be helpful.
    It looks like it's just 2 screws to change the switch but idk how difficult it is to get to.
