The short answer is - yes. The long answer is - I don't know how large the connector is and whether it will pass through a box spanner. If it's too big you could put a short longitudinal cut in the head of the box spanner (just long enough to clear the rubber on top of the switch) so that the wire can pass through it. On the Evo, the switch is only tightened to 10Nm so the cut spanner should still be strong enough to remove it.
