Ignition Switch Bezel Removal

Hey all,
So the Blazer is reaching the final stages before paint and I'm having a little trouble removing the bezel thats around the ignition switch. The switch itself is removed I just can't seem to figure out how to pull the rest off. So what do you guys do to get it off?
Thanks in advance

Yup...there's a special tool to screw it off/on. I didn't want to buy it, so I wrapped a screw driver with electrical tape and tapped to unscrew it using the indentions along the inner edges.

Do the same to needle nose pliers works well too. Just be careful if its a nice piece and you don't want to scratch it. Ask me how I know...
