It can be done. Put a helper in the car with a hand on the brake pedal. Remove the bad switch and quickly start the new switch about two threads. Have the helper press the brake pedal lightly by hand until you see some leakage past your loose threads. Keep the light pressure on until you have the new switch down tight. Should be fine after you get the brake fluid off of your hand.
