I'm sorry I haven't gone out to look (much winter in northern Maine, you
know) but I'd say where there's a will there's a way.

One way might be to use a hacksaw and shorten an old wrench.  Another
might be to simply remove the brake master cylinder (at least partly)
so that you can get to that switch a little easier.
