Back up light switch replacement

[STGC(SW)]

Hello gang. My first post here. I have a 2004 TJ (X) model with the 4.0 and 5 speed. The back up (reverse) lights quit working. I did the obvious and replaced both bulds with no results. This leads me to the switch. I know it's on the trans but wondering how much of a hassle it is to replace. Anything I should watch for? Thanks much.

It's not that bad to replace from what I understand.

From the FSM:

SWITCH TEST
To test the switch, remove the wiring connector.
Test for continuity between the center terminal and
the transmission case. Continuity should exist only
when the transmission is in PARK or NEUTRAL.
Shift the transmission into REVERSE and test
continuity at the switch outer terminals. Continuity
should exist only when the transmission is in
REVERSE. Continuity should not exist between the
outer terminals and the case.
Check gearshift linkage adjustment before replacing
a switch that tests faulty.
