I have to replace the brake light switch on my '37 sport sedan. Is it difficult? Can anyone supply instructions, and do I have to bleed the brakes when done?? I don't have access to a lift presently so will be working on the ground.
Thanks
John R

Assuming it's the same as my '38 it's a piece of cake. The hardest part for me was getting down then back up afterward. No bleeding required when finished. Just make sure the electrical connections are the same between the old and new switches. Mine accepts ring terminals held down by screws where some new replacements I've seen take a push on terminal.

Like Tiny said, just screw the old one out and the new one in and make the wire conections.
