wiper bezel

Hi Erik,

Ford had a special tool for removing and installing these bezel nuts.

You can make your own tool easily from a small piece of metal tubing.

Just grind one end to work like a screwdriver. The tubing will fit over the switch shaft, and the two "ears" fit into the slots on the bezel nut.

Drilling the other end of the tubing and putting a long thin bolt through (like a "T" handle), will give you some leverage to turn it.

I hope this helps.
