[Shop-talk] Bosch drill switch wire removal

[Steven Trovato]

Thank you Pat.  I suppose I can try disassembling the switch, but I 
think there is a significant risk of destroying an otherwise working 
switch.  I can cut the cord, like you said.  The problem with trying 
to push the contacts away from the wires is that I don't know the 
orientation of the contacts.  Where and in which direction would I 
push?  Replacing a cord or switch should be a very routine repair 
operation.  I think I just need to find out the magic formula.  I 
tried to attach a picture, but apparently size limitations stop me 
from doing that on this list.  Pat, sending the picture to you directly.
