Default Back up light switch

It looks like I need to replace my back up light switch. I did the paperclip test and there’s juice at the switch and to the back up lights. Could someone tell me what size wrench or socket fit’s the switch? Or, what’s the best way to replace the switch. Thanks!

It is on the side of the trans and I think it takes a 14 mm socket.

Mine must be different. The largest metric wrench I have is 19mm and it's too small. I need to buy a wrench for the purpose of removing the switch, which is ok as long as I get the right size. I was hoping that someone might have had experience replacing this switch that could tell me the best way to remove it. It looks like the slave cylinder needs to be removed in order to get at the switch.
