Bezel tool for ign switch bezel?
I'm getting tired of fighting with the head light bezel on my truck and tired of scratching things. Can anyone steer me onto a tool made to be used with these?

I've used a pair of LONG needle nose pliers and snap ring pliers before. Both worked pretty good.

Re: Bezel tool for ign switch bezel?
I've done that but this one gives me fits and I can't get it to stay tight. I may have to pull it apart and see if the threads on either the bezel or switch are bad.

Re: Bezel tool for ign switch bezel?
here are a couple of options for a special bezel tool, I whittled down a 1x1 piece of pine the other day and got that to work for me. I bet your right about your threads being shot if it wont stay tight, good luck 48!

Re: Bezel tool for ign switch bezel?
The ones on ebay right now all seem to be for the ignition bezel, but I've seen tools for the headlight/wiper bezels on ebay before.

That homemade bezel tool is very clever!

Re: Bezel tool for ign switch bezel?
The whittled stick is nice, too, but the PVC pipe is cheap, easy and quick. Not often you can get all three of those options at once!
