There should be two tabs on the bottom of the button, that actuate the switch when fully assembled. Push the tabs in towards the center of the button, and at the same time push up. This should pop the button out of the housing allowing you to put in an insert.

Here's an exploded view to give you a better idea:

The Ultralux micro switches are mounted horizontal instead of vertical.

Yeah, I didn't post the horizontal one because it didn't have an exploded version. I figure if you see how the plunger portion looks, it all makes sense...

True 'nuff. But if it is installed for whatever reason, you will need to twist the socket about a quarter or half turn to "unlock" it before it will pull straight out.
