Does anyone have a good guide or video on how to disconnect and reconnect the wires from a switch? It looks like you would remove them from the track side and use an eyeglass or computer screw driver to reattach them but I don't want to do this without confirming.

I'm looking to remove the wires, drill a hole through the table, fish the wire back through and have them hidden. 

Laker, You are talking about Fastrak switches, I think.  Yes indeed, just use a small screwdriver as you mentioned.  If you don't have the wiring diagram, just write down which color goes on which connector or as my older son-in-law pointed out to me, take a photograph of it before taking it apart.  These young folks teach me new things all the time.  I can be pretty slow.  Make sure none of the strands of a wire come loose and bridge to the next connector when reconnecting.  I only did it once on Fastrak switches, and it was a few years ago.  As long as there is no power on any of the wires or track, you can do that with any device as long as you carefully record before taking it apart.
