something like this might work for the wrench:

Sorry I can't help with the buttons.

I spent some time yesterday replacing the original engine panel
(Universal M4-30) buttons/switches and ran into a problem. I had
bought a new Cole Hersee key switch and two push button switches for
the replacement. I was able to replace the key switch and the glow
plug button easily (only a small amount of blood and pain). However,
I realized that the original push button start switch is different
from the glow plug button. The glow plug button has a rubber hood that
can be easily removed and a knurled round collar nut on the outside
and another nut on the inside to secure it. The start button has a
rubber hood that appears not designed to be removed and a rounded
collar piece with no knurling that secures it on the outside. I have
been unable to remove that collar and it is not clear if it is
threaded. The inside nut is different as well, and it is so tightly
spaced to the body that I have not found a tool thin enough to get to
it and loosen it. Anyone have suggestions on:
1. Why these two push button switches are different when the
presumably perform the same type of function?
2. A flat tool that can get to a narrow space for a large nut
(something like a bicycle pedal wrench but adjustable)?
3. How that start push button switch is supposed to come apart?
