What was the initial problem you had?

I just removed the switch this morning. I'm waiting for the new switch. I'm not 100% certain that the stiff turning of the key is caused by the switch. The key turns easier without the switch but it is still a little notchy at first turn. We'll see. Yes removal of the lower vent tube and upper AC duct makes removing the upper screw easier. There was red junk in the screw holes that had to be scraped out with a pick first. I had a 1/4" thumb ratchet with a socket and mini bit that worked nicely. Its one of those jobs that would be half the time the second time around.
