Ok,

You've got the switch out. It's covered in crud and years of residue. first thing is to clean it off. I just used dish soap and a small scrub brush. wash it real good and dried it off.

You'll notice some metal tabs on each side that lock secure the plastic parts to the metal frame of the switch. Using a small screwdriver, gently pry those out so that they clear the stops built into the plastic switch body.Note: the sliding part of the switch is spring loaded. It would be a good idea to press down on the "leg" sticking out the back while you separate the parts to keep everything together. Be careful. There are small springs inside you don't want to lose).

One you pry the tabs out, gently lift the plastic assembly off the metal frame part while keeping the slider tight to the rest of the switch assembly. Once all is clear, you can left the switch body off the slider from above. You should have the slider in one hand and the assembly lifted off in the other exposing the contacts with the little springs underneath.

See pics.
