Help please...before I throw the Sovereign through the window

I got some half-boot toggle boots from Sunray. Managed to get 3 of the 4 installed on my GT. The 4th (the one for the Disc/Iron Mask switch) is giving me fits. I have huge hands...and the threads keep slipping below the face plate. Any hints? I can't get needle-nosed pliers in there and still have room to push the toggle through the boot.

Undo the old nut holding onto the lever bit that operates the switch leaving it still on but on the last threads, take a piece of very fine nylon fishing line(or a fine strong whipping thread) and take a couple of turns(no more ) arround the thread below the nut then holding the two ends of the nylon and pulling at 90

Kered, that worked like a charm. It was a but disconcerting at first to have switches that had moved vertically now moving horizontally or diagonally, but adjusting the nut put them back the way they were.
Window saved, detector saved, and the swearing has ended.
Thank you.
