If the 90q is like my 100, the switch is in two parts -- a
key half and electrical half. The key half usually stays
put when your replace the electrial half, which is what
fails.
There should be 2 set screws imbedded in the top of the
combo. (Use a small mirror to see them.) The are covered
with red paint. The screws take a small straight-blade
screw driver (about 1/8-inch or 2mm or so). I put a drop
of paint thinner in the recess to loosen the paint,
IIRC, you don't need to remove the screws, just loosen
them a bit (1-2 full turns).
Having written all that, I remembered this:
