Kiekhaefer Controls Safety Switch
 
Can you pull this switch without taking apart the cables?
Please say yes I don't haver a book on that.
This is on a dual set up. Shifters on the port throttle on the starboard.

The simple answer is NO!
The throttle assembly must be disassembled to remove or change the switch. Very simple to do..... you don't even need a manual to do it!
Flip the retainer lock on the cables & slide the button attachment out of the throttle lever. Mark the cables as to location!!
Remove the throttles/shifter & remove the thru bolts/screws while laying flat. Remove only the section required to get to the switch.... you can remove 1, 2 or 3 sections at a time.
change switch (radio shack probably has one) & reassemble in reverse order.

Do this on a towel or sheet to retain any small parts!! I did a Gaffrig last week & one out of a Formula last fall... no sweat!!

Good luck.

If you are talking about the neutral switch, it is easy to replace, but the switch has a custom bend on the lever. After checking with the switch manufacturer and several suppliers, I ordered mine from Marc at BAM.

Thanks
it is the neutral safety switch
the switch works ,the clip type spring seems to be out of wack.
If I can get it apart I might be able to re adjust it. I don't have a lot of free cable, so I can only get the thing partially out of the dash. I will look for the clips that Blown Formula was talking about. It may be easier then it looks.
I will keep bam in mind if I get that far. I will try it Tuesday night after work.
