I made a tool that fits the slots in the chrome bezel out of a 3/8″ steel pipe coupling, a 3/8″ x 2″ long nipple and a 3/8″ tee. I can tighten the other switches by placing the toggle through the hole of the coupling.
I cut the coupling on one end to give me two tabs that fit into the slots on the bezel. This way I can tighten the bezel without damaging it.
I also made a piece from a star washer that would cover about 1/4 of the switch shaft. This keeps the switch from turning when I tighten the bezel, and also when I turn the key in the switch.
The depth of the bezel and nut assembly must be set correctly no matter what.
