Default Replacing Hi/Lo Switch Assembly

Good morning all! This may be a silly question - but I need to replace my hi/lo kill switch assembly on my 2005 Sportsman 400. I am a little embarrassed to admit, I don't see how it comes off though! I was able to open the old one, clean it and make it work for a while - but now I need to just pull the whole thing off and slide on the new one. Replacement came with no instructions on how it secures to the bars (and/or brake lever) and I'd prefer not to choose the 3lb sledgehammer method...

Easiest if you have a compressor and air gun and just stick under the lip of the left bar grip and blow it off. Remove the connectors at the switch,pull the little plastic cover at the back of the switch that covers the small allen head screw. Loosen the screw and slide the switch off the bars.Install the new control switch,tighten the screw,replace the grip using the air gun to enlarge it as you push it back on the handle bar.
