On the switch there is a little spring loaded button. Pull the headlight switch fully on and then depress the button and the shaft and **** will come out. Then you can undo the bezel nut to remove the switch.

All GM shaft-style headlight switches work that way.
Chilli, I think you're going to find that you need to replace the whole headlight switch to fix that problem. Make sure it has the vacuum switch - some of the parts store listings I've seen are for generic switches that won't work on a Corvette (unless you ditch the vacuum headlights).
