Default Brake light switch help

How do I disconnect the rear break light switch on my 08 ultra so I can screw back into the brake line. Seems plastic will break easy if I do wrong.
Thanks for any help

The wires just slip onto the spade connectors. Don't forget to bleed after replace.

They just pull off.

Try a flat head screwdriver to nudge the two connectors as you pull on them.

They can be a pain in the *** to get loose, but once loose, they just pop off.

They are a real pain in the butt to get back on, too.

Just be patient.
