Wiper Switch Removal

[esilky]

I'm in the process of doing a fairly complete restoration of my 1948 D24.  I need to remove the wiper switch in order to complete the work on the dash.  It seems like I would use a tool (spanning wrench) in the two holes in the bezel and unscrew the bezel - but it's not wanting to turn and I don't want to break it.  Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  The shop manual isn't much help with this.

 

Thanks

Does it look like something the tools made by Eric over on the truck side would work for you: http://p15-d24.com/topic/24720-dash-cableswitch-knob-tool-ignition-switch-tool-and-more/?hl=%2Bdash+%2Bknob+%2Btool

Thank you for the link to the tools.  I guess my main question is whether the bezel unscrews or the switch comes out some other way.  If I can verify that the bezel is meant to unscrew then I could buy one of these tools (I think a different one from the same site).  But if it doesn't unscrew and I twist it, I'll end up with a broken switch - that's what I'm trying to avoid.

Yes it unscrews.
