I thought I replied yesterday but anyway ;thanks for all the suggestions. I guess I need to soak it more.
 I used an Ungar broad tip iron to apply heat because the duty time on the Weller iron is 1 minute on and 4 minutes off and I did not want to chance ruining the gun.

Also I used a small adjustable wrench but the whole switch moves . I did put a socket on it to tighten it up and it felt like it was going to strip or break so I stopped that. For the time being I will let it soak and then try heat again.
                                                                             Thanks,
                                                                                Henry
