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

Many thanks. Do you know the size of the nut?

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.
