Default Headlight switch tool?

Is this right for 68 switch removal?

Probably not. 2-prong needed. I use a pair of needlenose plier carefully, and also gab the switch. and give it a little twist while steady on the threaded retainer.

You know about the button to press on the switch to remove the knob-shaft right..

Well shoot! I guess I need to order the tool with the bezel knob set then. Ok thanks for the tip. I had forgotten about the button release.

that is an ignition nut tool

put a dime in your vise grips .... it works great for the headlight switch nut at the wrecking yard... a washer etc ,

I have a 7/16 socket I cut down on 2 sides with the cut off wheel to make the tool cheap n easy ,,

did the same with larger socket for taking the flat nuts off the door glass too

I went ahead and just bought the tool from Ames since I was already buying the dash knob bezel set. Thanks for the tips though.

I think that tool also works for antenna bezel nuts.
