You need the special tool. There may still be a repro of several tools made over the years available from one of the vendors or you can make your own using 1/4" hex stock or a coupling nut or hex standoff. Just make sure the flats are 1/4" apart. The center of the hex will need to be drilled slightly over 3/16" to accept the switch shaft. Once you have the tool and have removed the knob slide the tool over the shaft until it enters the hex on the bezel nut. You can either glue on a handle or use a small wrench to turn the hex approx 2 or so turns CCW to loosen the nut and remove the bezel.

Here is the tool I made using a standoff.
