feel back on the switch, there is a little "button" pust it in while pulling out on the handle, the handle and pin will come out of the switch. ( your lights will go on also) then remove the plate, (it unscrews from the switch) wala! your switch is loose. Then you can disconnect the wires and have it all the way out.
be sure that the inst. panel in grounded real good cause the lights won't work i found out that the hard way the switch is easy to change \
the one i bought from advance didn't have the spacer on it i had to use the one from my old one mine was burned up on the dimming side
