You have to remove the lock cylinder FIRST so the bezel nut can come off.
To do this, turn it (IIRC) to the "ACCY" position and insert a straightened-out paper clip in the little hole near the key to depress a spring-loaded pin behind it that limits the rotation of the lock cylinder. While holding the paper clip in place turn the cylinder MORE to the left and it should then pop out.
ANY auto parts store with access to Standard Ignition, Neihoff, Echlin/NAPA etc., can get you a new switch.
HOWEVER, BEFORE going to all that trouble, disconnect the connector from the back of the switch and leave it hang. Then, with the battery disconnected, clip a jumper wire to the "S" terminal on the starter-mounted solenoid and bring the other end up top near the battery.
Make SURE the transmission is in "neutral" or "Park", connect the battery, then touch the jumper wire to a voltage source and note if the starter behaves normally WITHOUT the ignition switch in the circuit.
