Getting front off a switch.

Just pull the rocker off:-)

There is a "off your rocker" joke lurking.....

or an instruction Mods have been following on Brighton seafront for years...

That's what I thought, but only on the basis of fae being visible. I'll see what she says and give it a go (gulp!).

The one I saw seemed to be pushed through a plate and a kind ofslightly bent bit of plastic had been pushed up from the rear so the unbending tightened it. Nots these need to have this part and the front plate at least on the cable in the correct order before you connect it if its idc, wire wrap or soldered!

They often have a plastic clippy thing behind like this:

It's much easier to defeat this from the reverse, but if you're replacing the switch it doesn't matter too much.

Ah no, it's not like that at all. I tried to post a link originally, but SF's site was down and TS didn't have one. It's a 1-gang patress with the entire front as the rocker, with no screws in view, a bit like this but the rocker, as I say, occupying the whole patress:

I'm not sure how entire you mean by "entire front", but I found the following instructions for an IP54 waterproof outdoor switch from:

To remove the switch rocker(s) from the TPSL01, TPSL02 or TPSL03 and gain access to the front plate fixing screws carry out the following:- push the bottom of the rocker inwards then grip the top edge of the rocker and pull firmly to release the rocker catches (with double switches (TPSL02) treat each half separately as described above).

That's the sort of force I've tried applying but didn't want to try too hard until I'd got the replacement. It might get a good tug today.
