Apple IIe keyboard switches

I acquired an Apple IIe at the dump the other day (and a pair of IIgs machines, sans keyboards/mice - more on those later, probably). Something heavy has been dropped on the keyboard - there's no damage to the keytops (amazingly), but the keyboard PCB is cracked and the frame mounting points bent, and in testing switches around the damaged area I've found that the '=' key is permanently shorted (I assume it took the brunt of the impact from whatever-it-was, unless the switches in these machines are prone to decay and subsequent shorting). Anyway, is it just a case of desoldering the switch and prying it out of the metal frame, or is there more to it than that? I did try a little careful coaxing and it didn't want to move, but I don't want to try more force if it's the wrong approach. cheers Jules
