[TR] Brake switch removal

[Andrew Uprichard]

I have done it twice (removing the front passenger wheel makes for a much
easier job) and re-bleeding was not necessary.  I was told using silicon
brake fluid was the reason for the failures, but who knows......

Conventional wisdom says "no", but give it a try and see how they feel.

Is it possible to remove and replace the hydraulic brake switch located at
the five way connector on a TR3 with out having to bleed the brake system? I
was told that if you do not press the brake pedal and quickly swap them it
can be done with out having to bleed the system.
