How bad did i mess up?
today i was trying to take off and clean my nss on my 97 (with 272k miles..lol) in the removal process, the mounting bolt snapped. i got enough out to where i can still get the safety switch off, but i can actually get it off. not sure whats limiting it, but basically i cant get the nss off and i cant just bolt it back on because i snapped the mounting bolt. Any advice on where to go from here? Thanks yall.

Most switches take a bit of effort to remove, try spraying with some wd40 and a small pry bar working side to side. The only thing that holds it in place is the retaining nut on the shifter shaft and the adjustable retaining bolt.
