There are actually two sizes of bezel nut tool, one for the smaller nuts used on pre`68 Bugs/'Ghias (as well as early baywindow buses) and one for the larger late nut. Needlenose might get it, but those nuts can be unbelievably tight after 30+ years. I've had success making my own tools by grinding/filing them out of old-style beer can/bottle openers - regular mild steel flat stock is far too soft and will just twist.
The original push-pull one-speed wiper switch hasn't been commonly available for years; the two-speed "twist" style as used in `67 is the usual replacement. Add a jumper wire between the low- and high- speed terminals to give it two "on" positions for the 1-speed motor. --- "W.
