Repair or replace Electrolux canister on/off switch?

My rocker arm broke. Thats the part that moves the switch from side to side, when you step on the button. I got the unit opened up, but now that I have a replacement part, I can't recall how the parts go back in. Take a photo of it when you get it open. Anybody have any help for me on how the parts go in?

I got the part for $1.75, plus $6.95 shipping.

it is actually simple. once you get the sides slide off. make sure both ends of the canister are open. You can then see 6 screws. 2 of them are for the switch, while the other 4 allow access. when you open the switch, you will see it is made 3 pieces. chances are you need to replace the plastic part that moves the switch from on to off and back again. It'll cost you about $5 to get the part. email me at wrphd@comcast.net and i'll look for the company you can order the part from. the rest you'll be able to figure out.
