Gearbox reverse light switch - how to remove! was created by GuardianAngel
I am in the process of trying to remove all the gubbins to change my clutch (M13A/manual gearbox). The BJ clutch guide states that the reverse light switch plug needs to be removed, but I can't determine if you just pull it out or whether you need to undo the nut that goes into the housing. I have tried pulling but that does not work :laugh:

If you do need to undo the nut, any ideas on the nut size as none of my spanners fit :angry:

Unplug it as when you turn it it will twist the wires and may brake

Tried that but they are crap. They dont stay in a set position and open up as I start to turn, increasing the chances of rounding off the nut.
