I'm in the UK and I'm about to place an order with Snyders and I only want to pay one lot of shipping, so I need to get everything on the order. I'm trying to decide if my light switch connector needs to be replaced. I know that a replacement is only $58, but my order is pretty big already. I think I can save this, but then it's the first one I've ever looked at, so I thought I'd ask you guys.

Here's the side that gets the wear:

And here's the bit that rotates on the connector:

I was a little surprised to find the wires soldered on the other other side. Is that easy enough to undo?

I was also surprised that the contact side (in the second photo above) was packed full of grease, but could understand why. The side where the wires are soldered on was also packed full of grease. This bit, after I'd scooped the grease out:

Is that correct too, because I don't see why you'd put grease in there?

So new one or rescue this one?
