Mike ,
 Removing the switch as you say certainly would be an option. However everyone seemed to think heat would work before. Maybe I will need to remove it after all.
Since you are now advocating that method can you tell me ; is the shaft one piece all the way to the back of the wafers and is the bushing one piece as well? I have never needed to take one apart and it's good to know ahead of time.
                                               Thanks,
                                                     Henry
