With the excellent instructions on the switch, it was so easy to change and the diffuser simply snapped into place, it took more time to remove 30 years worth of accumulated grease on the range hood, but now it looks showroom new

Removed old switch by cutting wire still attached to switch and then loosing nut holding switch in place.
Striped ends of both wires and inserted ends of both wires into respective quick connect terminals.
Placed switch back in place and nut using needle nose pliers.
Placed knob back on switch stem.
Tested switch and it worked like a charm.
Note: Before I placed the wires into the switch, I determined the "off" position as I was working with hot wires. Be careful not to let the wires touch or grab both ends at the same time so as not to get shocked.
