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.



I've done this on a '62 Herald, where the switch sticks out the side of the  
four-way (or however many ways) connector. Had to rush, having discovered just 
 before a scheduled State inspection that I had no brake lights due to one of 
the  connectors having broken off the then 40-year-old original switch. Stole 
an  original 42-year-old switch off a junk Herald in the yard, swapped it on  
quickly, and passed inspection with fine brakes. ;-)
 
In other words, YES!
