Hello, I'm putting up some new plasterboard and need to take the light switch out the old plasterboard, and reinsert it into the new one. I can't seem to get the box out though, does anyone know how to do this? It's a box like this:

Get a flat blade screwdriver. Insert between the yellow tab and the white wall of the box. Prise sideways for it to pop out. Repeat the other side.
Are you sitting comfortably? ;o)))

Take a flat-bladed screwdriver.
Put it between the yellow bit where the screw goes (threaded bit) and the outer white rim of the box.
Lever to left or right as necessary.
The yellow bit will pop out and pivot towards the inside of the box
Do both sides.
Push both yellow bits away from you.
(The yellow bits hitch in behind the plasterboard.)
It should all come loose.

Phew...........
Haha................. just like buses. Three come along at once ;o)))

lol! i'd rather have three than none at all through
Don't forget to check, before you pop it out, that the bright spark who put it in didn't screw the back of the box to the wall/studding behind the plasterboard. Not common, but it got me once!!
