The headlight switch has a release behind the dash. Look under and you should feel it. Push it as you pull out the **** and presto. The windshield washer **** should just come off (I think any way...but it is late) Sorry can't help with that.

Very close but There are a couple of Technical points that you missed.
One is the battery should be disconnected and the other is
the headlight switch should be pulled to the headlights on position,then depress the button and then pull the ****/shaft out
the rest of the way.
Doing this makes the **** & shaft slide out really smoothly.
Not doing it this way causes one to Yank & pull with frustration.

You may have to use something to push the clip (just behind the ****) towards you as you pull the **** off.
If you reach up under the dash, you should feel a small button in top of the headlight switch. Push it down and wiggle the **** around and the ****/shaft should pull out.
Just a note, your headlights will be on unless you either reinstall the **** or unhook the battery.
