I can't install the new one without struggle at all. Is there an easy way to install the new switch without breaking it? I broke one I just bought and don't want to have to buy 10 more in order to fix the problem.

I like to press the brake pedal down, then slide the new sensor in until I hear the retaining tabs snap into place. If you don't get it in straight, it can be a pain.

If the switch does not snap in easily, either the metal tab is bent and needs to be straightened, or the button has been pressed and has pushed the lock ring into the switch body. Just grab the lock that fits around the button and pull it back out. Then be carefull not to press the button while installing the switch. The first time the brake pedal arm presses the button, it locks the switch in place.
