Ignition Switch Bezel R&R

Anybody have a line on the correct tool to remove the chrome bezel on my 65 ignition switch without destroying it? After all these years of fighting with a rag and channel locks, I'm ready to break down and buy the correct tool. (Of course once I have the right tool I'll never have to remove it again, but that's okay)
Thanks,
Tom

Ain't that the truth. I've struggled in the past using hand tools or the like to fix or remove something. After I break down and buy the proper tool, I hardly have the need to use it again. Still nice to have the proper tool in the event you need to use it again though.

Thanks all, that's the tool I was looking for. Was surprised it wasn't listed in any of the catalogs I have, appreciate the help
