Thanks Arran and Mike,
I'll probably have my wife hold it while I use the awl, just so I am not the one injured in this process. I saw the clip and I thought to myself, 1) no way I get that off without an injury, and 2) no way I find it once it shoots across the room. So I stuck with my heat gun then finally gave up and decided to scavenge the switch from my second model 45 where I had already stolen the filter choke from. But I would like to get the other unit running, so let's see if I can get this clip off. Appreciate the feedback.
