light switch shaft removal

Somebody has monkeyd with the **** on my '65s light switch,, I have a new ****/shaft from a supplier and would like to replace the original (monkeyd) one with this new one.

How hard is it to remove and replace this ****/shaft while the switch is still in place on the dash?

Maybe a bit awkward but alls you have to do is press and hold the release button on the switch housing to remove the shaft. No need to remove the switch.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go, looks like I'll need double jointed wrists though!
