How to remove dashboard switches and knobs

Am prepping to strip the dashboard on my 62 pickup before painting. Have removed the main panel on the dash with the gauges. Normally I'm pretty handy, but this is making me feel stupid. How do you remove the headlight, ignition and wiper switches? There's no tooling on the bezels to turn them and I don't see or feel lockrings or release tabs on the assemblies. Whatta you do?

OK, I got the headlight and wiper switches out. A guy told me to push a pin, like a paper clip, in the tiny hole on the face of the ignition switch with the key in a certain position to allow the switch to be removed. Indeed, when you have it on the accessories position, a pin in the hole feels like it's depressing a spring. What do you do then?

Also, someone installed in a newer lighter in the dash. See attached picture. A big collar seems to be threaded onto the body of the lighter behind the dash (big coarse threads). I don't see a way to hold the body still while turning the collar. Maybe oil the threads?

Ignition Switch -- after you push in the paper clip, turn the key counter clockwise and the lock cylinder should pull out.
Press in on the rear of the switch and rotate the switch 1/8 turn counterclockwise (as viewed from the terminal end). Remove the bezel, switch and spacer.

After you press in on the rear of the switch and rotate the switch 1/8 counterclockwise (I was able to do this), how exactly do you "remove the bezel"? It's still securely attached when I do that.

OK, I got both removed.
