how to replace starter button?

[Robo McDuff]

Tried to remove the starter button but can not get it out of its hole because it gets blocked behind the dash by a steel plate or something. Tried wiggeling and everything. Any tricks?

Or do I really need to pull the entire dash from left to right away to get to this stupid button (if so, what's the best way to do that).

Ok, just a check. Several of the manuals show the starter button at different locations. My starter button, in a 1973 M51A2, is located in the uppermost left corner of the dash board, TM ...10 and ..20 show the button in a much more central position, lower part of the dash board just to the right of the steering wheel. Mine has been replaced or this is also a normal place?

I looked for the manuals, but could not find a reference to the starter button as seperate topic, only as part of a testing procedure?

Though I give this one a push again as well, still don't know how to repair it
