Socket for dashboard bezel.

[Badwolf]

I go with the pointy pliers with tape/shrink-wrap over the ends for protection, but with the posh adaptation of rolling up some paper to set the jaws at the correct width and then taping them.

one advantage of the specialized 6 pin sockets I use is that tightening spanners are not reqd enough purchase can be exerted by hand to tighten them enough. They have never scratched or marked the dash "No Slips"

I'm following this thread with interest as there is a slim chance I might have to replace the ignition switch so will need something.

I had been thinking of old blunt chisel and medium sized mallet 😱 but a bit of wood and a couple of nails sounds far more sophisticated, also cheap & I have the bits.

If you have the bezel with 6 indents then you only need 3 nails. 

A nice piece of Manogamy or Oak would make it look the bees knees.

Right, where's my axe I'll nip out to the nearest forest and chop down a nice oak tree. . .

Those trees mate for life, which is why they're now protected. Oaks on the other hand have little acorns everywhere.
