2003-2009 4Runner Neutral Safety Switch replacement (NSS)

I apologize in advance for the long video. This was a difficult project to replace the neutral safety switch located on the passenger side of the transmission on a Toyota 4Runner.
 The four-wheel-drive system continue to flash, and the issues were stemming from the neutral safety switch; so I decided to replace it.
STOP AND READ
Be sure to clean off the end of the shaft with sanding cloth before beginning. This will safe lots of time later. This was a four hour job because I did not sand the end of the shaft well. After sanding and cleaning add penetrating lubricant and then use the slide hammer.
I purchased part # 84540-51010 from a local Toyota dealer but used the link below to get 30% off and pick it up the next day
