Late brake light n16 almera

Hi guys,

I have a 2004 almera n16 1.5se petrol. As the weather is getting darker I can see when the top brake light is coming on in the rear view mirror because of the reflection on the rear glass. I have noticed that it comes on when the brake pedal is pressed hard and doesn't come on under what I would consider normal braking. I have read on the internet that it is a brake light switch on the pedal that needs replacing so I took it to a mechanic and asked him to replace it since the part is pretty high up and awkward to reach behind the trim

This hasn't fixed the problem or the mechanic didn't do anything and just gave me my car back. Can anyone point me towards a video or a tutorial on removing the lower dash trim beneath the steering wheel so I can better access the part and swap it out myself?

Any help/pictures/videos on how to do it would be appreciated
