Did you take off the front brake? If you don't remove the front brake the switch housing won't come apart, had mine off yesterday to change the handgrips.

And DON'T neglect this step from the instructions Rene posted:

Do not remove or install the master cylinder assembly
without first positioning a 5/32-inch (4 mm) thick insert
between the brake lever and lever bracket. Removing or
installing the master cylinder assembly without the insert
in place may result in damage to the rubber boot and
plunger on the front stoplight switch. (00324a)
