Neutral safety switch removal.
How do I remove the neutral safety switch? I bought a replacement and am having trouble removing it.
After shifting into neutral, I disconnected the connector, then unbolted the two screws. Now I can't get the little white ring that connects the lever coming from the transmission to the actual switch. I have tried prying it off with a screwdriver, spraying a little PB Blaster to lubricate it a little. Nothing will get it off it seems.
I'm leaving to go back up to school tomorrow afternoon, and I need to have this fixed before I leave.

Did you remove the nut from the shaft in the middle? Then remove the shift lever where the cable attaches? Once that is out of the way pry it off, pull it off, hit it with a hammer, whatever it takes. They stick.
