Help - How Do I Remove Headlight Switch

[blackp7coupe]

The headlight switch on my P7 coupe has gone bad. There's a bezel that apparently holds the shaft of the switch in place. How I remove the bezel to get the switch out? I want to replace it with an original switch.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Desotodav, thanks for posting the link. My problem is not the knob, i have that off. My question is about getting the switch out. I'm used to seeing switches with nuts on a threaded shaft or a button on the switch that releases the shaft. This switch has a bezel on the shaft. How do i get the bezel loose? Is there a tool i need to remove the bezel on the shaft?

Bezel removal tools are available from Eric (Townwagon)... http://p15-d24.com/topic/28758-new-videos-showing-how-my-tools-work/?hl=%2Bbezel+%2Btool#entry287304 .

It looks like Eric's tools only fit Dodge trucks. The bezel (nut) on my '39 Plymouth has a different configuration. I scoured e-pay and the only removal tools there are for later model MOPARs.....

Post a picture of your bezel. I have one of erics tools and it works on both my 46 dodge pickup and my 48 plymouth.

That looks just like the ones on my 48. Send eric a PM he has a tool that will work.

I sent a e-mail to Eric with pic of the bezel in question and he directed me to the correct tool.

Thanks all for your help.
