Default brake light sensor removal

Hi everyone,

I want to remove the brake light sensor on my 2004 Night Train. It took some doing to be able to fit a wrench on it but I've got good grip. The sensor however doesn't budge. I only bend the bracket on which it is mounted. How can I get the sensor off without damaging anything? The bracket isn't strong enough to apply serious force on the sensor. There's no rust. It's just stuck.

Do you mean the switch?

I don't have your bike but the parts diagram seems to show that the switch screws into a part that also takes a spanner, is that correct?

Yes, I do mean the hydraulic switch. I thought there wasn't room for a spanner on that part because of the brake lines attached to it. This is not recorded in the diagram. But a slim spanner will fit. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks.
