Heater blower motor control switch removal tool.
 

The bezel on my 50 for the blower motor control switch appears to need a special tool to unscrew it. Has two holes 180 degrees apart. The knob and shaft can be removed for access. Any suggestions?

I was in a hurry, so I made one by using an appropriately sized 1/4" drive deep socket and grinding it back to make the "teeth" needed to grab the nut. Interestingly, a few year later I needed a similar tool to remove one of the dash nuts on my Corvette; I remembered the one I had made, found it in my toolbox, and it worked for that as well.

I did the same thing several years ago. Since this is America, I sacrificed a metric deep socket! :D
