Hey all! Looking for that tool to tighten my always loose ignition bezel on my '72 Pickup. I don't know what they're called or what they look like. Something that engages the three grooves I s'pose..........

Thanks! John

Huh, I got by with a screwdriver and hammer..

Andy4639 · 12-14-2010, 06:24 PM

When I take them off I use Needle-Nose Pliers . I thought that was the speacial tool you were looking for!

70chevytruck · 12-14-2010, 10:08 PM

Me too...needle nose plyers and three hands.....

according to the ebay listing for that tool, "Show gudges notice".

May have to invest in one of those, but a screwdriver and hammer have never let me down.

Thanks for the link ls1nova71. I purchased one. I have fought a few of these, no longer.

cerjio · 12-14-2010, 10:27 PM

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-14-2010, 10:37 PM

Personally, for $20 I've got way to many other things to do.

Yeah the PO of my truck used a hammer and screwdriver too. I ordered a new bezel and an ign. bezel tool along with a gauge bezel tool.
