Default Cruise Control adjustment

I finally fixed my cruise control and got power going back to it and replaced the final vacuum line that is dead thanks to many forum members help.

Now, my hopefully last questioin on this topic is how do I adjust the switch on the brake pedal to make my cruise control work properly, as of now I have to hold the pedal up with my foot for it to work. Car is an 89' corvette with an automatic transmission.

I saw that you have to push in the switch but I could not get it to go in, dues to limited room and I installed a keyless entry and alarm which is also partially in the way. My question, is what is an easier way to do it, like maybe some tool I can buy and leverage it on something, or should I take it to a local well-known and reputable mechanic and have him to it to save me the hassle and if I did it that way about how much do you think it would cost?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Stephen

I used a pair of needle nosed pliers, nothing fancy.
