Dash Headlight Switch removal

What is the easiest way to remove the headlight switch from the dash. I have a 1977 F-250 CS and I tried to remove the **** from both the headlight and windshield washer switch but neither one would budge. Do they just pull off? Do I need to remove the dash trim to get the Headlight Switch out? Thanks in advance...

Feel around behind the dash on the headlight switch and you'll feel a little button

Kinda like this


Press the switch and then pull the **** out. The shaft will come with it.


EDIT:Montana got to it first.

Headlight Switch
First unplug battery unless you want your lights on.
Put your hand up there and push this button. then pull **** out. Do NOT hold button.


Washer ****
Get hook pick in there then pull **** off.

Headlight Switch Removal

Once the stem is removed, how is the switch removed?

There is a collar or nut holding it to the dask sheet metal.
