Ignition switch bezel

I'm looking to replace the chrome ignition switch bezel. After removing the lock cylinder does it simply unscrew?

Yes it does. When you go to put the new one on make sure you have it started straight, The threads are really fine and it is easy to get cross threaded. There is a tool you can buy that fits into the three notches in the front....
