The reversing switch takes a 19/32 or 15mm wrench. It's a snug fit with
the wrench I have. Just in front of where the screw-in switch is, the two
wires should go through a clamp that is attached by a bolt into the
gearshift tower. About three inches beyond that are the bullet connectors
for the wires. The way the two wires are routed along the top of the
gearbox cover makes it very difficult to get at the connections from
either direction.
