I realize this is an older thread but I would like to say that you dont have to be affraid to remove the brake switch. Just press the brake pedal down(this will ensure you dont mess up the adjustment of the switch), turn the switch and pull it out. Now all you have to do is be sure not to touch the button sticking out of the switch. If you do you will have to replace it most likely because it will now be out of adjustment. Now when reinstalling do the same...... press the brake pedal down, insert the switch and turn it into the locked position. Now release the brake pedal. If all is good your brake lights should be off with the pedal at rest. If not you must have bumped the button on the switch and now your switch is out of adjustment. Now you will have to go buy a switch.
The only thing that will happen if you mess up your switch is your brake lights will stay on even with the pedal at rest. Dont worry the switch isnt that expensive! But if your car is still under warrenty just have the dealership fix this problem! After all thats what your warrenty is for!
