<VV> Replacing backup light switch

[Frank DuVal]

Yes, the fluid will come out. 90W gear lube. It will smell bad... Let's 
call it a distinctive odor!

You can keep it from becomming a problem by closing the hole with your 
finger while getting the new switch ready for the hole. Be prepared and 
it will be easy. Keep the wire rubberbanded to the switch while screwing 
it in.
