After reading Mamu's tip on doing this awhile back, and not wanting to go out and buy the tool to do it, I just happened to glance at my toenail clippers I bought specifically for rebuidling atomizers. I thought using them would probably work too. Sure enough, using the corner of the clippers, they are fine enough to get around the leads of the switch and snip them right off. Takes about 20 seconds to snip the leads, then just rock the switch until it breaks off. Voila!
