If your yellow button kill switch never worked, and you would like to kill your motor and save $$ on the down hill runs, Check out my repair.
Getting it out is simple. I suggest removing wires with soldering gun to make this easier. The switch is a simple snap together. Just slip an exacto blade, or supper thin small screwdriver between parts and pop it apart. be carefull not to brake it.
The issue is the spring loaded metal contact that sits in the yellow swith button. As you can see, it is stuck in the yellow plastic. It is not only too wide for the slots its supposed to fit in, but it also is simply not bent to fit the holes. Rebend it to make it fit. I used a dremmel to make the legs thinner. now it floats the way it should. making contact with the two copper contacts on the black cover plate. The smaller spring goes under the contact. the big one is behind the button. Reassemble with copper contacts closest to front of switch. Check continuity with voltmeter. You should now have a good switch.
