Despite applying fairly intense pressure, the prongs on the switch seem to barely move. Is there a trick to disconnecting the old switches?

Ted, Those wire connectors are"sure fit" terminal connectors, You need to squeeze and pull, Most people use a pair of needle nose pliers, or they pry them off with a 1/8" blade screwdriver. You can also remove the switch from the assembly(mounted with plastic tabs and alignment pins) if it's easier for you. :) :) :)
