There should be a button or a slot on the bottom.
Stick like a very small screw driver in the slot.
I also think ya got to turn it some after this.

If you are removing the entire switch from the dash , there is a tool Tool, Switch Removal Tool - Ford F-100 Parts which mid-fifty has. This tool has two pens at one end which help to unscrew the lock nut on the switch.

No problem!
We have a large iron ore mine up here. Maybe he can work there if he's hardworking and can handle the climate above the Arctic Circle!
