Dual light switch removal

[Davefitz]

Does anyone know how to remove this light switch?

I don't want to just start prying at it and break something.

the switches themselves have steel spring retainers that hold them in place. simple slip a blade behind the switch and it will pop out. you can then easily see how the housing is attached with screws.

Hmmm... Thanks, but you have overestimated my intelligence. I got the switches out, but I can't make out what's holding on the housing. Any other hints?

your switch box may be the one that the cover snaps onto the base with the screws for the base hiding in the outside corners.
