glove latch removal
« on: May 25, 2017, 07:59:30 PM »
Trying to figure out how to remove the glove box latch! Bought a glove box, the plastic shell. Does anyone know how to remove the latch?

You need to remove the lock cylinder before the latch.  Read How to: Remove Glove Box Cylinder in our Technical Forum.  The retaining nut hidden under the cylinder flange requires a special octagonal male driver.  I expect the tool is long obsolete, so more than likely you will need to fabricate or adapt something to work.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
