Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

Here are the removal directions for this vehicle:

Removal Procedure

Disconnect the battery negative cable.
Disable the SIR. Refer to Disabling the SIR System.
Remove the pushrod retainer from the brake pedal pin. Use snap ring pliers.
Unsnap the stoplamp switch from the pushrod.
Disconnect the electrical connector from the stoplamp switch.
Installation Procedure
Connect the electrical connector to the stoplamp switch.
Snap the stoplamp switch onto the pushrod.
Install a new pushrod retainer on the brake pedal pin. Use an 11 mm (7/16 inch) socket in order to push a new clip onto the pin.
Connect the negative battery cable.
Enable the SIR. Refer to Enabling the SIR System in Restraint Systems.
Replacement is opposite of removal.
