I stole this from another thread. I noticed on my desk I had a worn out air fitting and I thought, use that. So I went to the garage and pull out my 3 inch Roloc grinder and shaped the end to fit the smaller lock nut for switches.
That is what I like about this group. I can't count how many times I have had to hunt the smallest pair of needle nose pliers I have to take a bezel nut off. That is to cool. I'm going to make one of those today.
I just used a BF flat bladed screwdriver with the end covered with a layer masking tape so I wouldn't damage the part. I just used it a few hours ago so I could remove the light switch to replace the rheostat. Worked like a charm.
I saw the tool on a thread and thought it looked cool, this is what I use. photo by the-stig posted Apr 18, 2013 at 3:08 PM
