neutral switch problem

[firagate]

ok so im guessing my neutral switch has gathered carbon and is starting to mess up i can still tell when its in neutral because the light is brighter when in neutral than when in gear
anyways i know this is a pain to remove because of where it is located and even more of a pain to find a ome neutral switch for sale for a 1979

so is there any way to get this working other than removing it
or an easy way to remove it i really dont want to remove the motor just to replace a little switch
