My headlamp switch has been acting up. I purchased a new one. After looking at the 101 projects book and the Bentley manual I thought I had it covered. I removed the housing per instructions. I removed the big 24mm nut. There is a sleeve that is supposed to slide out a 1/4 inch which allows you to rotate the switch and pull it out the back side. My sleeve is frozen in place. It almost seems like its been glued or something. If you cannot slide that out you cannot rotate the switch. Anyone have any experience with this issue. 2002 S with leather on the dash so you also have to be very careful so as not scratch the leather ask me how I know that.
