[Shop-talk] Bosch drill switch wire removal

[Steven Trovato]

Well, it looks like you were right.  I called Bosch customer 
service.  They said to use a scribe to push the contacts.  I fought 
with it for a while and eventually got it done.  I was expecting a 
separate hole or slot to insert a tool and release the grip, kind of 
like the way the "backstab" electrical outlets and switches work.  I 
had to just push in the same hole, right next to the wire.  Thank you 
for your suggestions.  You got it right!
