Can that ignition switch be dismantled and repaired, or is this a

I had a similar problem with mine (the key would actually FALL OUT)
in flight and it would appear to be in the OFF position and still
leave one MAG hot. I just replaced the blasted thing. A new bendix
switch wasn't that much. My ignition key didn't match the canopy
or baggage compartment locks anyhow.

Besides,

Isn't there a reoccuring AD on those Bendix ignition switches???
Something about leaving the mags hot even if you turn it to the off
position. Why not just replace it and not have to worry about a
reoccuring AD or the hi effort problem?
