HI,IF THE SCREWS ARE TOO TIGHT YOU RISK DAMAGING THE HEADS AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS,AN ALTERNATIVE WAY IS TO UNSCREW THE TINY BLACK SCREWS NEAR THE SWITCH.YOU WILL NEED A BENT HEAD SCREW DRIVER FOR THIS,ITS A SMALL PRECISION SCREW DRIVER WITH AN ANGLED HEAD(I MADE ONE BY BENDING A CHEAP SCREWDRIVER!),YOU WILL THEN BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE SCREWS AND PLASTIC COVERS,IT IS A BIT TRICKY BUT THE ONLY WAY!
