That is the light switch and it looks to be the one that rotates for the on /off? There are no tricks, short of taking the light manifold out of the pump, struggling to get the cover off the switch box, and possibly having a bad switch anyway?
A lot of people simply remove that cast iron box and put a regular light switch box in there.

Anyway, theres no tricks--just take it all apart and hope it works when you're done!

Put a little heat on the boss around the on/off plunger.Grab on to it with a small Vise Grip. Rotate just enough to get loose, lots of DWI -40 spraying around. If you can get it loose it goes in and out. Same switch as a W-60.
