Firstly, identify the legs of the switch as described in the first picture. Loop the corresponding wire through each leg and solder. Despite using black for both wires, I can identify the PP3 clip lead because it is made up of multiple cores twisted together, unlike the single core jumper wire I use to connect to ground on the PCB.

Then insert the switch. Ensure that the locating ridge on the switch lines up with the notch in hole. It is a tight squeeze in the circuit box, so take care with this step and use a small screwdriver to manipulate the wires and PCB to accommodate the switch. Once the way is clear, the switch should slide in without resistance and grip in place.

The switch can be removed at disassembly simply by pulling it out. The switch will have to be desoldered to completely disassemble Niftymitter.
