IIRC, the problem is going to be getting the bezel off with the key in place. Once the switch is out there's a button, or a hole you put a small punch, in that releases the cylinder. I think the key has to be in at that point, and turned to a certain place. Been years since I've done it and my memory is foggy. I'd try to get some oil or graphite in there to get the key to release.
