I don't know about 3B, but on my MC it was possible to change the switch
with hardly losing any coolant at all. I unscrewed the old switch and as I
removed it I quickly plugged the hole with my thumb. Then I quickly
installed the new switch in the same manner. I think I losed only few drips
of coolant.
