Backup light switch replacement

[motogo1]

It has been a while, but IIRC,  I got mine out with just an adjustable
wrench. Not too hard either. Sounds like yours is stuck in there pretty
good. You might want to heat things up by driving the car a bit. I had good
luck getting an O2 sensor out with some heat.  Also, make sure your
extensions and universal joint are not binding.
