Angry Sidestand switch Glitch

I have just had a failed sidestand switch. Temporarily I bridge the connection in the connector.
Having bought a replacement switch , the question is 'how to remove the old one.
Its located with no room to get at the star screws . If only the screws were installed from underneath !

A star bit from a screwdriver fit will work. Slip it into the bolt and then use a 1/4 in. wrench to break it loose.
