Up to '95 according to the manual, you remove the trim, then undo the two screws retaining the contact switch.
To remove the trim you had to undo seven plastic retaining screws, but I don't know if that applies to later models.

They are about a tenner, they prise out on the one I did recently but that was a 96. The casing melts and gets stuck though, so some force is needed sometimes. Buy a new bit first and the attachment is obvious.

The contact plate prises out but I believe the pins are fixed with screws !

Quite right, I didn't read the post carefully enough.

Thanks for the info when I was younger I would have been straight in there prising with the screw driver but now I am older with deeper pockets I like to ponder things first thanks again.
I bought the pins and the block £19.00 & £12.00 each,the pins have two screws that need to be loosened and the whole lot can be removed,the block just prises out, five minute job.
