yeah, I use a tiny flathead to help pry towards the rear of the car until I can get my fingers
in there to grab it and pull it more. Be sure to pull it straight back, and maybe work from one side to the other. THere are 6 metal tabs holding it on, and don't be surprised if one of them breaks off - it will still go back on just fine.

After getting that out of the way, the fun begins. Ok, it's not that bad...
You'll see 4 tabs to remove at the top of the fog buttons and cupholder:

Do that and open up those holes cuz you'll need to get your fingers in there.
Now, along each side of the hazard swich there is a metal band that flexes out at the front side. When installing, when you push the switch into place, these bands/clips extend outwards, locking it into place.
I've found the best way to get this part out, is to take a small flathead again and push on one of those bands, let's say the right one. As you are pushing on that, you are going to unclip the right side of the switch. With your left hand, reach into the foglight button hole and push the rear of the hazard switch to the right, so the front right of the switch pops outwards. Now put down the screwdriver while still applying pressure with your left hand. Insert your right hand into the cupholder hole and reach as far back as you can, and now with both hands, keep enough pressure to keep the right side unclipped, and push/pull the unit towards you. THis pressure will allow the left clip to come undone as well and you're all set.
Good luck

Unpossible. I just flushed with synthetic.
I STFA'd, and read that the Kale Co. stuff is used in all the race cars.
