Could someone enlighten me on the best or easiest way to get the square clip back on the brake light switch pin? I have been fighting this for awhile. Thank You

Sorry I read wrong, and liked your post...now I feel obligated to say something so you know I'm not making fun of you, and because I did that, I might as well get off my butt, and go see what you are talking about...see if I can help

I did read it right...so the spring clip can be a bit of a pain sometimes. I've come at it from many angles, most of the time its not bad, sometimes it can get onry though. I usually use my pocket screwdriver and have a pair of 45° storks on hand, just in case. Its a spring clip, it kind of wraps the shaft, try setting the slide gently, then w screwdriver pry open and push clip more onto the shaft. Hopefully that's what you are asking.

I am a 73 year old retired railroad track Maintance worker of 36 years, and have arthritis in my hands and have been shade tree mechanic since I was 14, but this booster replacement has me bested it would appear. I am wondering if the round clips would work and be easier to put on? Thank you.
