I soaked the spare signal paddle is some hot water for around 15 minutes. It did not really soften or loosen. I clamped vice-grip pliers around the shaft, wrapped the paddle with a thin bit of leather, and used another pair of pliers to gently twist and pull the paddle. It resisted all movement until I got a short crack and it finally came off. The paddle has a slight crack on one side, but it's almost invisible, so I went and repeated the task to get the button-tip off my OD switch and then slid the proper paddle onto my switch.

It looks *very* good and proper. If the crack starts to annoys me, I'll probably order the $30.00 replacement from IPD,but for the moment I'm happy with the setup.

Thanks for the info!
