It's easier than that....
Prize out the "LR" badge on the grab handle to get at the screw behind
it, and remove the other screw and the handle comes free. The "end cap"
of the dash is held on with three (I think) screws, two at the
bottom and one near the top - this then comes away. You can now see
the motor. Where the wires go into it looks like a plug, which it is
sort of. Pull the connecors out and the bit that is left is the
park switch - it is clipped to the body of the motor - looking
at the new one it will become apparent how. Unclip the stop switch,
clip on the new one, check everything now works and put it back together.
It looks a bit daunting the first time you do it, but you'd have to
try quite hard to damage anything.
