Removing 1957 Buick dashboard bezels

[Frank Falconeri]

I just purchased 2 dashboard bezels for my 57 Buick Special one for blower one for lights, question, how do I remove these so I can replace them with  better non pitted ones.

Going by memory here, if you remove the knob there is a little nut underneath that screws into the switch.  Once you remove that it will fall off.  You'll need a tiny allen wrench to loosen a set screw at the base of the knob.

I will try to find an alan key that fits the tiny hole in the knob, I looked at it but looks like threading and no screw. I assume the light switch knob pulls out by releasing a locking button on the light switch from what I can see on the manual, I guess the chrome bezels should easily come off once knobs are removed and you said a locking nut removed. Thanks for the advice Lancemb

Yes the headlight switch has a button on it to remove knob.  Then a small nut holds switch to dash and also secures bezel.

 

There is ndeed a tiny set screw in the other knob; otherwise it would slip right off.
