As I recall there is a little "detent" or pin on the switch that has to be pushed in. Haven't taken mine apart in 40 years so others will be more specific.

Pull the light switch knob out as far as it goes. Then reach under the dash to the light switch. There is a spring loaded button that sticks up, which if i remember correctly is on the top side. Push it down and get hold of the knob and pull it out. You may want to disconnect your battery first or your headlights will remain on until you uplug the light switch from the harness. Marv

Here's a picture of the bottom of the switch showing the hole you poke something in. I think I used a paper clip. Like Marv said, pull the switch out then stick the paper clip in and pull the knob out at the same time you're applying pressure on the clip. Dennis/Arkansas
