My new blue 72 needs new ignition switch and bezel. Looks like the last guy tried to pry out with a screw driver. Please refresh me on proper procedure. I know that pin hole is there for a reason

Ok, you probably know some of this already, but I will tell you what I know about how to do it. 1. stick a paper cilp in the hole, put the key in and turn it to the Acc. position, push the paper clip in and the switch should come out. 2. unplug the wires from the switch (this part looks simple, but the plug is really hard to get out. 3. unscrew the bezel from the metal piece that the ignition switch fits into. I hope that helps
