I use a pair of vice grips. I also have a bezel that is all scratched to he!! along with the paint on the dash.
I've been meaning to get on of those ignition bezel tools also. Keith |

Re: Tool?
You can make a tool for the ignition bezel yourself for a few bucks.
Use a piece of PVC pipe that fits just inside the bezel, I believe 1 1/4" I used a "cap" that has a hex on the end, so I can put a wrench or socket on it for grip. Now mark the end where the 3 notches of the bezel are. They'll be 120 degrees apart, or at 12 o'clock - 4 o'clock - 8 o'clock. Get 3 roll pins 3/32" and drill the 3 holes in the side of the PVC, near the end. Press in the 3 pins leaving a little sticking out and you've got prongs that should fit into the bezel notches. The hard part is drilling the 3 holes at the exact spacing. I believe I found this information, with pictures, on this site. However, I couldn't find a link to that original post. Maybe someone can post a link for making the ignition bezel tool. |
