Agree.  I used a pair of plastic 'orange' sticks, one inserted above and 
one below the shaft.  They are tapered and as they are forced in 
opposite directions apply a lot of even pressure to the switch.  I don't 
recall if I used my heat gun but I would certainly try that (or a hair 
dryer... an item I have no need of) before applying a propane torch.  I 
may have even used a bit of PB Blaster.  Did get it off w/o breaking but 
not w/o a fight.
