There's no release button, but a lever, I don't think you have to remove everything they did here.

Wow, yeah, that's my ignition right there. Kind of wish I was just 'pushing the tab wrong' and take the ego shot rather than having to pull everything apart, but oh well.

Buddy even says "everyone tell you you need to push a tab, but that's not right". I hear that.

Thanks a lot, I missed that video in my searching.

Looks like you have a different style switch.
I think Schex3x nailed it.
