Default Brake light switch

While replacing the brake booster, I inadvertantly pushed the brake light switch plunger in too far and now the brake lights won't go off. Is there any way to pull the plunger back out so I can re-adjust it or do I need to buy a new switch? If so, how? I tried pulling it out with needle nose pliers but didn't want to break it.

You already broke the switch. Buy a new one!

There is a clip on the backside of the plate, just pull it off or do what I did and just pull it out.

What year?

1994. Not seeing the clip. Just pull with needle nose?

Thanks Randy93!!! Figured it out. The whole switch moves out... not just the plunger.
