chrome switch covers

I bought some chrome switch covers and Im stuck on the throttle cables! How do I get them out of the old covers? It appears there is snap ring but I dont think my snap ring pliers are small enough to fit in there, am I on the right track or is there a trick Im not figuring out? appreciate anyones knowledge right now! thankyou,

Grab ahold of the elbow (where it goes into the housing) and pull they snap right out.

RE: chrome switch covers

try loosening your throttle lock.

RE: chrome switch covers

Check the tension on the throttle and idle cables also. There is a nut on the cable elbow. I believe you are supposed to loosen them anyway if you disconnect the cables. Anyway, they may have gotten loosened anyway. Tightening them back should help.
