'51 Ford Tool needed
To remove dash bezels on a '51 requires a small round tool that has four spokes on it. I tried using a blade screw driver but it makes a mess of the bezel and can't get things tight. Does anyone know of a source or substitute for this tool?
Thanks Tom |

I took a piece of steel gas line and filed it off leaving 2 prongs and used a pair of pliers and turned it right off.

I bought one at Mac's in Lockport 2 years ago. It cost about $8.00. It was not listed in their cataloge, but at the time I called them, they had them in stock.

These are readily available through the old car parts houses. They have two prongs. The TBird parts houses also sell them. I think they are called Bezel Nut Tools.

I use one of my wife's pickle forks. Cut the center tine out, cut the tips off the other two & bent them over 90%. Works great on bezels, but not so good on pickles

I have used two small screwdrivers and levered them behind the shaft (choke rod, throtle rod, light switch rod, etc) that comes out of the bezel.
