Can anyone tell me how to remove the headlight switch from the dash of my 1941 Ford Passenger car?

Diagnosing light issues I found that the previous owner had connected the wires to the wrong terminals on the light switch. Though it would be easy enough to pull them off and put them on correctly. Turns out they're soldered on. Then I though I could just swap the wires where they connect into harness but found I'd be running power through a smaller gauge wire. Didn't want to do that.

Have to take the switch out to fix this; no other way.

Looked for buttons on top of the switch to press down and release the pull but I don't think there are any.
